UP CLOSE WITH SPIDERS – PHOTO GALLERY
This picture was taken at Ulu Ampang, Selangor, in the mid-1980s. The Curved Spiny Spider gets its name
from the pair of long, curved projections rising from the two sides of its abdomen. It is also called
the Horned Spider, and you can see why from this photo.
