"You can't see me right?"
This little guy was trying hard to pull its camouflage so that it would be invisible and stay safe. But while it might work for some predators, it was not working against me.
The funny thing was that, it was his web that blew out its presence in the first place. I was not aware if the web when I was checking out the tree when my face struck it web, and on a glimpse I found where it was hiding.
I feel bad for accidentally destroying its web, but shit happens, and when it happen in the early morning, it was a mix of anger, amusement, and a chance to get the tiny object that I was trying to find.
Back to this tiny spider, it tried to pull all its legs so that it could appear to be some kind of a small white ball or a bird poop that might look uninteresting to the predator. But it becomes my tame subject to photograph.
it stay still or a while to keep its camouflage, but then after a few shots and some twist and turns it also decides to move.
This was the moment it decided to move and give away its presence since it might think the camouflage was not working, because I kept twisting the branch and the leaves that it was resting on to be able to take the photograph from different angel.
