This little spider is a female from the family: THOMISIDAE. It was very difficult to photograph as it tried to hide from the camera. It's a pity i could not get a shot of his eyes. This spider is also called the grey flower spider but I think he's more green than grey. http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details...
