Thank you rbumrbum, it sure does get around for something so small and wingless.
Crazy, I found the same species in California only with not as detailed markings. It does have a cosmopolitan distribution.
Thank you armadas :)
Beautiful little spider! Love the last pic...looks like it has turned around ready to head off because it's finished playing around :D Thank you for sharing :)
