Hypoblemum scutulatum - Jumping Spider - Female

A common jumping spider on the bark of trees, leaves and other surfaces, body length of females to 7mm, males to about 5mm, found in Queensland and NSW and likely elsewhere across Australia in suburban parks and gardens, dry eucalypt scrub to rainforest. Usually abundant when found, mostly on low foliage. Thought to prey on ants and probably other arthropods. Body and legs yellow to orange, sometimes brown, with a whitish striped abdomen. Easily recognisable by the pattern of lengthways bands down the abdomen and the black-topped head with white fringes around the eyes.
