This is my entry for the #monomad challenge curated by @monochromes today.

Good evening everyone, how are you and I hope you have a pleasant day and are in good condition. On this sunny day as usual this afternoon I went back around the small forest, but when I arrived there before I explored this small forest and suddenly I found another species of spider that looked so unique and beautiful, and this species of spider is known by another name, namely Mopsus Mormon and at that time I immediately approached it to see it up close.

And apparently this species of spider was preying on a small insect species or a type of small fly, and at that time I saw it crawling on one of the dry logs, and without waiting long I immediately took my smartphone camera and macro lens in the small bag that I brought, and at that time I immediately took several shots and managed to take several different angles of the picture that looked very beautiful and graceful, and you can see it below.

This species of spider has a rather small body shape with a green color that looks so unique and perfect, and has eight legs and looks very unique and this species of spider has two small eyes that change color from black and green which looks so perfect and elegant, because this species of spider has its own characteristics that are so eye-catching and I hope you like it.

Mopsus mormon is a species of spider belonging to the family Salticidae. This species is also part of the genus Mopsus and the order Araneae.....Wikipedia
