I think that I should remove this sighting due to poor quality photos

Primary photo a bit 'trippy' but others are good enough to provide detail to ID this as a juv male Maratus pavonis; very common in suburban Canberra and surrounds. this sp. normally seen in adult moult (males are a lovely mix on red/blue/black and white) around October.
