I found this in a dark murky corner. Could not use flash as I was taking very close-up shots. This is the best I could get. I also checked on southindianspiders.com to verify it. But was undecided. Is it Leucauge decorata (Blackwall)? The white on the abdomen was actually silvery and the entire spider in the picture - legs stretched as here was about an inch. I have used an extra lens to get a better magnification.
Another posture before it moved up there.
Well, I don't think there's any doubt you have the right genus.
Shall I post it on BF?
Yes Dinu, I agree with your identification as Leucauge decorata, so please go ahead and add it to BugFiles.
