That looks rather strange. I love it! I can't seem to imagine this thing being able to jump too well with legs like that. You should try and get some video of it!

you can try a few resources and they will answer emails if you cannot find it in there. I have not seen it before. Very Nice spotting! http://www.arachne.org.au/ or www.findaspider.org.au/
