Tiny treasure

This sweet little face greeted me early one morning as I went to place the rubbish in my council bin. So very tiny, just a few mm in length.

A jumping spider, perhaps a juvenile female Opisthoncus sp.

Opisthoncus is found here in Australia, also New Guinea and New Britain. Australia has thirty species, however several of these are of doubtful status or may be misplaced (Gardzińska and Żabka, 2013; Whyte and Anderson, 2017).
