Net Casting Spider - Deinopidae

This Net Casting Spider are also known as Ogre Face Spider. They are from the Family of Deinopidae, not sure of the genus or species.

Update : Not definitely sure, possibly Deinopis kollari as ID, it being the only known Deinopis Spider documented from Malaysia.
They built their net during day time in preparation of using the net to hunt at night, check out this video of them hunting :

  Thanks, Ferdy.
  You have to look out for them when in Columbia!
  So far, have only seen them in grey/brown colours.
  Maybe you will find something more colourful ;) Posted 9 years ago

    I frankly have no idea what to expect, so I'll do every tour day and night and just try to capture it all :) Posted 9 years ago
