Beautiful Dark Deliochus moulting (Deliochus pulcher)

Revealing a fresh skin and green legs this small spider is peeling off it's old skin like removing a wetsuit.
I like the way it attaches a safety line from it's abdomen to the branch in case it falls. I think the legs go dark after 'drying'.
About 12mm body length.

Mark, just to explain: in case your photos has GPS in the EXIF, JungleDragon will detect it and use it. If that data is not in your photo, you are asked to at least set the country using the "Set country" button to the right. This way we can link photos and species to countries. Posted 9 years ago

  Sorry Ferdy.. simply an oversight. My cam does provide that info but it isn't reliable so I need to review everything. You might even notice some daylight shots given as 2am for example. Thanks for noticing. Posted 9 years ago

    No worries, just wanted to explain why it is asked, all of us miss it sometimes. Posted 9 years ago
