Shot with my samsung galaxy S4 phone. Don't really know the species of the spider but all i can say it was extremely camouflaged was not visible until a distance of 3-4ft.

Dr JK,
Thanks for sharing the photos.

Ramandeep, good eye.
That spider is really well camouflaged.

Hi Doc JK,
A long focus lens - 200mm / 300mm will do better justice to your well framed pictures :D
Keep them coming....
