Pink Flower Spider (Tharrhalea evanida)

On this day I spent a few minutes checking the neighbour's daisy bush and found a couple of these tiny green crab spiders about 10mm long.. one of dozens of other arthropod species on the flowers.Location suburban back yard.

This species has been recently transferred to another genus - it is now Lehtinelagia evanida (L. Koch, 1867). I'll ask Ferdy to change the name accordingly.

    Actually, it's thanks to Robert Whyte. I sent him a link and he was so kind to check some or maybe all Australian spiders. He came back with a list of things to fix. He also joined the site, I hope he might introduce a few spider species. Posted 9 years ago

      Great! He's always been a very helpful guy but that's impressive. He must like what he sees. Time to dig out some of my unknown spiders. Posted 9 years ago
