The given variable is not an array and contains a null value.
Hersilia sumatrana is more commonly known as Sumatran two-tailed spider due to its disproportionately long and pointed spinnerets at the posterior lateral of the abdomen. It is often found on tree trunks and walls of abandoned buildings. This spider is extraordinarily good at camouflaging themselves on tree trunks, where they simply press their flat bodies on the surface, eliminating shadow casts and thus blend effectively with the surrounding. This species is widespread in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar and Philippines.
