The Bird-dropping spider (Celaenia excavata (C. kinbergii )) is an unusual spider, the appearance of which mimics bird droppings. This is both effective camouflage, and an effective means of lying in wait for prey.Its unusual appearance is its very protection. It is dirty white, grey and black in colour, with a large abdomen, rather like the swollen effect of a bird dropping. It waits, motionless, on leaves for its prey, without fear that eny other creature will try to eat it, due to its unappetising appearance.
