While I was moving the flower pots in front of my house, I suddenly came across a tiny web-building spider perched on a bougainvillea leaf. This particular spider was very small, but the shape of its abdomen caught my attention. Due to the lack of light, I had difficulty photographing it, especially when using a macro lens, so I decided to use a flashlight to help illuminate it.

This spider lives on its web and waits for its prey to become trapped in it, making it very different from jumping spiders. The most striking feature of this spider is its large, swollen abdomen, which has patterns resembling batik or geometric designs, with a combination of gray, white, black, and brown colors.

Unfortunately, I was unable to capture the beauty of this little spider in great detail. The lighting was the main reason for this. Hopefully, I will be able to find this spider again during the daytime so that I can capture its beauty perfectly.

Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this spider here.
