This species is usually in white in colour, but there seems to be another species which is undescribed from this genus which is red and black, which is the one I saw today.
This species seems to be way more rare then the white variant that is usually found, i honestly didnt expect to see this, i only see observations of this species in campuses like GKVK or iisc, not my home.

Found this one up in the mountains. Immediately after, I ran into an ascetic Hindu and he invited me into his home which was a cave situated on top of the waterfall. We were about to roll one up but my family was worried and blowing my phone up because the thought I might’ve been eaten by a tiger or fallen off a cliff. This taught me that life is only as chaotic as you allow your mind to make it, because nigga, I was chilling😂😂😂I ended up rolling the paper backwards because they are flipped in India so I couldn’t spark and I just gave him the weed hopefully I can come back and have some hash for him. Dude had to be at least 100 and didn’t say a word. Respect.

Initially unsure of the identification (but see below). The tunnel is about 3 cm across. Noticeably flat appendages. I thought it could be Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus, described in 2014 by Sanap & Mirza. "A new iridescent tarantula of the genus Thrigmopoeus Pocock, 1899 from Western Ghats, India" Comptes Rendus Biologies 337 (2014) 480–486.
This name, Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus, does not appear to be in the species list within iNat (for now), and that is because the species is not valid, but rather a junior synonym of Haploclastus devamatha.

Surprised to spot this Rarity at our indraprastha farm on Tree top at height of at least 50feet !
Never expected a snail mimic ( this has a man faced abdomen ! )at that height, spotted accidentally while cutting a dead tree.
ಥೇಟ್ ಹನುಮನ ಮುಖವನ್ನು ತನ್ನ ಬೆನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಹಚ್ಚೆ ಹಾಕಿಸಿಕೊಂಡಿರುವ ಜೇಡ, ಶಂಖದ ಹುಳವನ್ನು ಅಣಕಿಸಿ ತನ್ನನ್ನು ತಾನು ಹಕ್ಕಿಗಳಿಂದ ರಕ್ಷಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತದೆ. ನನ್ನ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಗೆ ಇದರ ಬೆನ್ನಮೇಲೆ ಹನುಮನ ಮುಖ , ನಿಮಗೆ ಬೇರೇನೋ ಕಾಣಬಹುದು . ಅದೇನೇ ಇರಲಿ, ಈ ಜೇಡ ಕಳೆದ ಡಿಸೆಂಬರ್ ತಿಂಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೆ ಸಮ್ಮಿಲನ್ ಶೆಟ್ಟಿ ಅವರ ಚಿಟ್ಟೆ ಉದ್ಯಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂರೂ ಅಡಿ ಎತ್ತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಣಿಸಿತು. ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ಆಗ ಅದು ಮೂರನೇ ದಾಖಲೆಯಾಗಿತ್ತು. ಆರು ತಿಂಗಳ ಅಂತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೀಗ ನಮ್ಮ ತೋಟದಲ್ಲಿ!
ಅಂದು ಮೂರೂ ಅಡಿ ಎತ್ತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ್ದ ಜೇಡ ಈ ಬಾರಿ ಬರೋಬ್ಬರಿ ಐವತ್ತು ಅಡಿ ಎತ್ತರದ ಮರದ ಮೇಲಿತ್ತು . ಮೂರುವರ್ಷಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆಯೇ ಸತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಮರವನ್ನು ನಿನ್ನೆ ಕಡಿಯಬೇಕಾಗಿ ಬಂದಿತ್ತು . ಧರಿಗೆ ಬಿದ್ದ ಮರದ ತುದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಜೇಡ ನನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣಿಗೆ ಅಚಾನಕ್ ಆಗಿ ಕಾಣಿಸಿತು. ಅರೆ.. ಅರೆ... ಈ ಜೇಡ ಇಷ್ಟು ಎತ್ತರದಲ್ಲಿ. ಪರಮಾಶ್ಚರ್ಯವಾಯಿತು. ಒಣ ಕಡ್ಡಿಯನ್ನು ತುಂಡು ಮಾಡಿ, ಜೇಡವನ್ನು ಮನೆಯ ಮುಂದಿನ ಗಿಡದ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟದ್ದೂ ಆಯಿತು. ಅದರ ನಾನಾ ಭಂಗಿಗಳನ್ನು ಚಿತ್ರಿಸುವ ಸೌಭಾಗ್ಯವೂ ನನಗೆ ದೊರೆಯಿತು !
