Thanks Jolly!
Dez, they are generally no linger than around 1 cm - at least the ones around here are, but can jump 50 x their own length & will stand up to any big nasty human they think might be trying to steal their prey!

Are these spiders generally small. I have never seen big ones here in South Africa.
