About Sidymella rubrosignata (L.Koch, 1874)

This species of spider is most often a well-camouflaged green color, which makes it hard to spot when it is on green leaves or flowers. Occasionally, individuals can be yellow, light brown, or reddish instead. Males reach 4.5 mm in total body length, while females grow to 8 mm. Males are both smaller and slimmer than females. The front two pairs of legs are much longer than the back two pairs. The abdomen has a trapezium shape, with a pair of humps on its dorsal surface, and each hump has a red patch. The cephalothorax is pear-shaped.
