Opisthoncus parcedentatus
I think this is more likely a female . Males have slender abdomen and larger pedipalp. As most other spiders, females are more commonly seen than males. The Garden Jumping Spider is medium size, brown to orange-brown in colours with white patterns through out the whole body
Hiding between 2 leaves with a sticky like web fusing the leaves together ..watched as it jumped on its snack .
The Garden Jumping Spiders body colour vary from orange-yellow to brown. The smaller size spiders are paler in colour. It seems that the spiders become darker and darker when growing up. Garden Jumping Spiders build retreat between leaves or by partly rolling a leaf with silk. Their retreats usually have opening at both ends. They hide in their retreats at night and during winter.
