#carrhotus

a giant compared to most of my local jumpers, Carrhotus xanthogramma is no less skittish, and if anything the frustration of losing a critter is much greater when they're above average sized as opposed to a speck. luckily, this one delayed her parkour slightly to let me get a quick look and some shots

this Carrhotus xanthogramma, probably unaware that she was sitting relatively still out in the open, was not feeling particularly sociable, so she immediately hid under a leaf when i got close. some uncomfortable stretching on my part allowed me to get this bonus upside down angle before she realized she needed a better hideout and disappeared forever
