Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
These spiders usually wait in camo on the bark of tress etc.
Hence my question: What did it do on the table? Fell out of a tree and tried to find another plant?

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
Tmarus sp., bark crab spider
Family: Thomisidae (crab spiders) - crab spiders use their powerful front legs to grab and hold on to prey while paralysing it with a venomous bite.
Tmarus are long-bodied and cryptically coloured in cream to brown mottled greys, browns and black which affords camouflage on bark. They rest on a twig with anterior legs outstretched forward and hind legs tucked in next to body holding on.
