IDed as a Singapore Frontdoor Tarantula (Phlogiellus inermis), seen resting on a leaf next to the path at one-north Park: Fusionpolis South, Singapore, on 21 Nov 2023. These spiders are usually nocturnal, so seeing one in daylight is unusual.</p><p>On iNaturalist [ <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/191633885" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">inaturalist.org/observations/1</span><span class="invisible">91633885</span></a> ]</p><p><a href="https://photog.social/tags/iNaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>iNaturalist</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Singapore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Singapore</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Spiders" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Spiders</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Araneae" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Araneae</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Tarantulas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Tarantulas</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Theraphosidae" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Theraphosidae</span></a></p>
