Thank you Nicholas John Fisher for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Females ~6.5mm The cutest of all spiders, the jumpers (Salticidae) do have 8 eyes (not 6), though difficult to see. Obviously the 2 headlights at the front & 2 side parkers. Going on top of the head, theres a nearly invisible pair, and finally the pair a the back. (2-2-4). Our Bronze Aussie Jumper (Helpis sp ES01) probably shows all 8 the best. Nicholas said "Whereas Clynotis severus is almost exclusively a trunk dweller" | |||||
