Just around from where the jumping spider was, there was, what I think is, a tiny Common Hadrotarsine. It was stationary on the bark of the tree.

Appears to match the female illustrated in Whyte and Anderson's 'Field guide to spiders of Australia' (CSIRO, 2017). The 'Common hadrotarsine' at http://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=2174 may be the same species. P. oecobioides is not listed in AFD.

Hi Kim, Many thanks for the information. I have Whyte and Anderson's field guide and just checked page 333. I see what you mean. I would have walked past this spider if not for the Jovial Jumping Spider. This P. oecobioides was just so tiny. Cheers
