User's notes

This small flat jumping spider was only about 4mm, I have no idea what family he belongs to. I have looked at ALA and Mr Google and I cant find anything that matches this guy.

I don't recognise this with any confidence beyond Salticidae (family) so although it isn't ideal, I will confirm that for now as there have been other sightings with similar characteristics we've categorised there. I'll take a look at references and search for a more accurate ID though!

Thank you Yumi, as I said I had no idea.

@YumiCallaway I've suggested Proszynellus sp. (genus) based on the recent identifications of the ones on my fence as being that.
