Servaea incana (L. Keyserling, 1878)
Three warm days brought out this furry little salticid spider on the bark of a large suburban eucalyptus. It was very aware and highly active seemingly searching for prey.
Suburban park margin.

Wow thanks Chun. I hadn't found time to get back to this one. My guess wasn't too bad though.
Servaea incana sure seems like it. They are tree bark dwellers. http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details...
I lost view of it twice while fiddling with the camera. Had to wait for it to move both times before I could find it again. I quite like these little furry ones. So many species.
Good spot, was he pretty well camouflaged?
