Opisthoncus polyphemus
Very active and aggressive jumping spider. 5mm
This is the only example of this species I have seen. She was on a steel fence above lawn and beneath overhanging trees in an area rarely disturbed
I am suggesting it is Opisthoncus polyphemus, agree? We created several undisturbed areas of garden to encourage spiders which have been photographed and included in a website about backyard spiders to be found on a 1/4 acre suburban block. Here the spider enjoys a fat little mosquito Another specimen, a male here. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/438...
