This is my entry for the #monomad challenge hosted and curated by @monochromes
Although I was so happy to be able to photograph this jumping spider, I had another issue when I wanted to make a post about this spider. I think it is a common problem that I face when I want to make a post about the subject that I photograph because most of the time it is quite hard to find the exact name of the subject that I have in the internet.
Some of them are very similar with very few differences but somehow they can be a far family, not even in the same genus, and then the species is completely different.
Just like when I want to make a post about this spider, I have to select a few genera that are similar to it, then I have the Hyllus and Pelenes Genera. It is either Pellenes tripunctatus or Hyllus diardi
Then after a few back-and-forths comparing the spider that I have and those species online, I think it is safe to say that the one I have here is from the Hyllus diardi Mostly it is because of the long hairs that make it species to the Hyllus genera, and also the marking it has at the end of the abdomen. So what do you think? is it Hyllus or Pellenes?
