This is up close with a two tailed spider....on he bark of a tree. This was camouflaged , and i go as close as possible. ..and looked to me like a pendant
Hersilia savignyi is a hersiliid spider 
6D2, 180 Tamron, ISO200, F18, 2.5 Sec as it was in a shadow area of the tree...and there was a canopy above..

C&C welcome

Good detail on this unique spider.  His camo is indeed effective.

This is a wonderfully disguised spider, Balan.  Congrats on even seeing it.  This tight view both shows off the spider and how well it's camouflaged.

Yipes, that is up close, Balan!  Great job even seeing it, as camouflaged as he was.  Wonderful detail in a creature most of us won't ever see, at least this closely.  That is why I love Marco so well, we can now see things up close and enjoy the details that otherwise would go unnoticed.

Wow, great up close camo here Balan.  I really like exploring the patterns on the back that look like little faces complete with eyes.  It looks huge up close like this.
