Flower Crab Spiders (Genus Thomisus)Observer
sriharsha444Description
I was going out to buy some idli today, I didn't expect to see this
This species is usually in white in colour, but there seems to be another species which is undescribed from this genus which is red and black, which is the one I saw today.
This species seems to be way more rare then the white variant that is usually found, i honestly didnt expect to see this, i only see observations of this species in campuses like GKVK or iisc, not my home.

It was predating on a Polypedates tree frog as seen in the photo. Infrequent movements of the chelicerae were observed. The spider couldn't take the prey back into its tree hole as it was too big.
