Genus : Leucauga
銀鱗屬
They have two rows of long, slender curved hairs on the femurs of the fourth
leg.
In most cases the web is slanted rather than vertical and the spider rests in
the middle of the web with its underside facing upwards.
This Genus of spiders have bright silver oval-shaped abdomens with black
patterns. Theirs long legs and heads are yellowish green to dark green in colour.
They are common in bushes and moisture area.
These Spiders build inclined or horizontal orb webs, but sometimes vertical webs
can be seen. They build typical orb webs. Their webs are simple and complete,
with large holes in the centre.
Long legs, they can build their web with wide space between radii, i.e., less
radii are needed. Also the silks used are thin so their webs look weak. They
wait for their prey in the middle of the web both day and night.
They like to build webs near fresh water, such as creek or pond.

Dragonflies of Borneo
"With 275 named species so far recorded in Borneo, the island has one of the
richest and most exciting dragonfly faunas in the world. More than 40% of
species occur nowhere else, making it the most distinctive sub-region of
Sundaland." A Guide to the Dragonflies of Borneo by Albert G. Orr
Insects are diverse and dominant inhabitants of the tropical rainforests in Borneo Island. New species are discovered too often. Entomologists are still struggling to cope with the documentation of tropical insect diversity.
Most of the common dragonflies in Sabah are red coloured, especially from the family Libellulidae. Some red pecies are even confused as same species, for example the three species of Genus Neurothemis.
