Cosmophasis sp. ♀ (Pahang)

I found this Cosmophasis sp. ♀ on signage in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang. Cosmophasis is a genus of the spider family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Some species occur in Africa, while most are found in Southeast Asia, down to Australia. Although most species more or less mimic ants, there are also colorful species that follow a different strategy. This Cosmophasis sp. ♀ measures about 6mm.
