Triple-streaked Humpback Crab Spider
The female of this common Singapore species is characterised by three whitish transverse streaks across the dorsum. The three streaks and the elevated abdomen of the well-fed females, along with their habit of remaining stationary with outstretched legs, render them immediately recognisable in the field.
The male is more slender and is longer-legged. The transverse streaks on the dorsum may be difficult to discern.
