Awesome mimicy! Mouhot’s rolled leaf spider (Poltys mouhoti). Selangor, Malaysia. Unlike all those I've come across before, this one has red "butt" instead of the usual yellow. Also great to have photographed it in non-camouflage mode.

I want to post more of this spider, but I need to save space for others though.

Thanks, Graham. This cute jumper was bigger than all other jumpers I have seen. I couldn't fit it in the frames at 1:1 (crop sensor, FOV 22.2mm at 1:1). I would say it's about 15mm?
