What I thought was just a stick was not really just a stick, and ti is something alive.
yes I met this stick-looking spider that build webs among the tree leaves. the web was kind of transparent because I notice the web much later than I managed to notice the spider itself.
Maybe the spider sensed my presence and then started to play its camouflage mode when I got close. But unfortunately, I have seen the leg, and learned that this stick is actually a spider.
I was taking a few shots before the hood of my diffuser bumped into the web and caused the spider to move away even further trying to escape me.
Here you can see it already moving around after I bumped into its web. it even started to reveal its camouflage, but spreading its back leg and initiating its flight.
after the move, he then went back into its stick position, maybe thinking that it was safe over there. But actually I am still following it, and take a couple other photos.
On the last attempt it slid into the back side of the leaf, before then it jumped out of the way, and gone under the bushes.
