Opisthoncus quadratarius
A handsome active jumping spider about 13 mm long. The body was dark with patches of white along the anterior margins of the head and abdomen. A reddish brown abdomen also showed a median jagged strip of white.
Legs were dark with pointed tarsi.
Of the 4 eyes usually visible in the front, the middle pair were larger than the lateral ones.
Spotted in a cuburban backyard.
A very curious jumper tried to jump on to the camera ( for a selfie perhaps!)
