Supunna picta
These little spiders are unbelievably fast... too fast for their own good. This one was well over 1 metre away when I was taking shots. At one point I took a single step to get another angle but by the time I put my foot back down it had covered the metre heading for nearest shade and got squashed.. sorry. Original size was about 8mm.
Outer urban back yard.
