Hi Rj, for the most part I'm happy if I get the family correct, there are many experts on PN, I'm not one of them, hope someone can assist further.

Looks a lot like the Platybrachys video from encyclopedia of life. Aren't they exclusive to Australia?

I don't think its a spider. Six legs, two eyes... it looks a bit like a hopper
