Happy Smiley Male!

A pair of Ornamental Tree Trunk Spider - Herennia multipuncta, male is much smaller in size and plain brown/red in colour. Found the male 'riding' on top of the much larger female and the position of his eyes looks like a smiley face, probably very happy to find his mate.

Check out the video of him courting and trying to mate with her!

The Ornamental tree trunk spider

''Herennia multipuncta'', commonly known as the ornamental tree trunk spider, is a species of spider in the family Nephilidae native to Asia. It exhibits sexual dimorphism, the female being much larger than the male. It weaves a small web on the trunk of a tree or the wall of a building and is well camouflaged by its dappled colouration.
