The flatty Glider spider - Selenops sp The flattest spider that i have ever seen. It is flatter than the flattest two tailed spider and the huntsman spider.<br /> It was resting on a bark of a tree. Saw one more in the crevice of the bark. Probably they rest in these crevices during day, as they can be seen only once it gets dark.<br /> <br /> There was an article about gliding spider. This spider does look like one of them.
