Again and again, I've found a very unique spider, this spider I found in my cocoa garden. This spider differs from web spiders and jumping spiders, from its habitat to its hunting methods. This spider has its own unique and special qualities, and its appearance alone is quite intriguing.

In my area, this spider is sadly called the spitting spider, this name was given for a reason, this spider hunts its prey by spraying a chemical liquid on its body so that it makes the prey weak, I don't know what liquid this spider spits, but what is certain is that the liquid is enough to make its prey fall.

Another uniqueness can also be seen in terms of its very unique shape, this spider has a shape that is almost similar to a jumping spider but the color is clearly different. This spider has an orange color or like the color of tea, and this spider often spends its time on wild plants or on grass.
