Another portia



Portias are spiders that are as rare as it sounds.This cannibalistic arachnid preys on other spiders and is known to annihilate
an entire nest including its eggs and spiderlings.So far, I've came across two of such fine specimen and both were found at
the Sungai Tua state park.My second Portia was smaller than an earlier find in the same area. This is the only spider that displays some intelligence and is able to make
decisions on the prowl.
