Asianopis subrufa male

Commonly known as ogre spiders and also net casters due to their hunting technique.

These spiders are easy to recognise with their large, forward-facing pair of posterior median eyes and the long, slender legs and body. Males of this species are often seen, as here - on flat vertical surfaces, such as exterior walls and doors of buildings. I always find females within shrubbery.

Body length 20 mm
