Dolophones sp. wrap-around spider A tiny Dolophones sp. wrap-around spider seen recently.<br />
<br />
Spiders within genus Dolophones are native to this country and if you can find them when that amazing camouflage is at play, they are usually seen at rest against tiny twigs and branches, blending perfectly both in regard texture and form; the ventral surface of the body is concave to allow a &#039;maximum wrap-around&#039; effect. <br />

Dolophones sp. wrap-around spider

A tiny Dolophones sp. wrap-around spider seen recently.

Spiders within genus Dolophones are native to this country and if you can find them when that amazing camouflage is at play, they are usually seen at rest against tiny twigs and branches, blending perfectly both in regard texture and form; the ventral surface of the body is concave to allow a 'maximum wrap-around' effect.

Female 10 mm body length.
