Finally....White-Moustached Portia (Portia labiata)

[tchuanye]

After years of waiting and wanting to shoot this jumping spider, I finally found it at SBWR at along the walkway to the entrance! And took it while doing what it does best.....eating other spiders...or spiderlings for this case. An intelligent jumping spider that thinks and plans its route of advance for a kill.

Nice capture in SBWR! I went there a few times but not much luck in JS capture. Only managed to capture 3 types of JS so far.
