Spider for today (un-named) ............... about 1cm from toe to toe.
An extremely active spider that often jumps rather than walks.
There are numerous different types of spiders in Hong Kong, all are predacious, although most have small mandibles & can only suck up liquid food or devour small soft solid particles.
Spiders have several sets of eyes although this particular one seems only to have four in all, unless there are more on top of the head (prosoma) that are out of view.
I don't think this species is a web-spinner.

L-B {L_WROTE}:
The littlle red ones are definitely the male of the species and they're safe in the web till one of them has succeeded in mating. But afterwards they're fair game for the huge females of this species, I think.


Think the mystery may be solved.
This is most likely the male Woodland Spider.
Was in the same web as the yellow & black (female) Woodland Spider. Although both are about the same size 3-4cm

Don't know the name of this beast. It is quite big, 4-5 inch across. At first, it was quite relax but then it switched to post seem like ready to fight. Maybe some insect expert can tell us more about it.

I've heard that these wolf spiders have a nasty bite - anyone have any first hand experience?
