This is the first time I saw this spider, a very unique spider for sure and this spider also shows how wonderful nature is, and how amazing the adaptation of the species is to stay alive.
at first, I thought this spider resembled the shell of a snail, but apparently, I was wrong since the name of this little spider turned out to be a different thing.
It is actually called Bird Poop Spider or Cyrtarachne perspicillata is a species of spider of the family Araneidae., a species of orb weaver spider, which the body resemble of bird pooping.
What is interesting is that although it is called an orb or web weaver spider, I didn't see any web around this spider, only below the spider I notice some kind of threaded silk.
I really love the color and also the pattern it has on its body, for sure some predator will not think that this is a spider, because of its camouflage is so nice, even it is almost deceived me.
