Oxytate argenteooculata

Found on Hibiscus flower with prey.
Oxytate, previously known as Dieta, is long and slender and colouration varies from pale cream to translucent green sometimes freckled with lighter spots. The female's shape and colour afford effective camouflage among grasses and stems.

Thanks TMetcalf, normally these spiders are difficult to spot on greens, I got lucky to see it on an orange flower!
Cool.
