Is the fighting spider the only type that makes such a nest?<BR/><BR/>But my colleague who used to play with fighting spiders too when he was a kid says it is not a fighting spider leh.<BR/><BR/>When I googled for common Singapore spiders, I found it looked rather like the <A HREF="http://habitatnews.nus.edu.sg/guidebooks/spiders/text/Hasarius_adansoni.htm" REL="nofollow">Adanson's House Jumper</A>. However, there's one thing I am sure about - it is a definitely a jumping spider because it tried to escape by jumpping. It is also likely to be a female because its abdomen is quite big. (Hmm... maybe it is already a mother of 10,000 spiderlings? Hahaha.)Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339178864363140977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13303109.post-19250398212211274702008-08-29T12:12:00.000+08:002008-08-29T12:12:00.000+08:00On second look, maybe it's a female becos the 2 ar...On second look, maybe it's a female becos the 2 arms rather short.
