User's notes

This is probably a female Maratus Calcitrans, but as I have not seen one before, and am not a spider expert I include this sighting separately from the male spider sighting. This was seen at the first spot along the track where we saw Jumping Spiders. We saw more than 12 jumping spiders over about 200m of track, and most were male Maratus Calcitrans.
