i’ve had a few messages about this particular spider so here’s some info on it!

these spiders belong to the genus neobrettus. they are cryptic jumping spiders, usually mottled brown or grey, that rely on stealth to navigate tree trunks in the rainforests and neighbouring gardens of malaysia, bhutan and vietnam. despite being jumping spiders, these guys don’t actually jump. instead they move smoothly and quickly from one position to another. their unique fuzzy appearance is likely to be an attempt at mimicry of an unsavoury caterpillar. not much else is known about them as they are very difficult to spot.
