A strange looking spider, it has two tail on the end of its abdomen. After later I could identify this one, it's Hersillia Spider (a Two tailed bark-rock spider). The tail also scientifically known as spinnerets is used for spinning it's web.
In Manglayang Mountain I encountered a lot of them, they live on rocks, barks, and wood walls. One more interesting fact from my observation; when I found a female, there will be a male not far from there.

ReplyDeleteI didn't knew that Hersiliidae spiders dwell on rocks too.
