UP CLOSE WITH SPIDERS – PHOTO GALLERY
Siler semiglaucus has the curious habit of lifting up and lowering its front pair
of legs as it moves about. This one was earlier seen eating the ant (Crazy Ant, Anoplolepis longipes)
but it abandoned its prey, possibly due to the disturbance when I photographed it. It was seen in
the same location as the specimen in the previous photo.
