User's notes

It was within an area about 5-10 m wide with others that look roughly like this. Posted separately. I'm thinking maybe an earlier stage of some of the Euophryinae sp. (undescribed) on here now.

THe other thing is that maybe it is related to the Salticidae sp. 'Golden palps', which would mean that the majority that are listed as Hasarius here would be part of that.

This one's tricky! I don't believe it's "golden palps" which is a bit different. This one appears to have an orange/golden face, as opposed to palps being golden. It looks Saitis to me, but I'm not confident!
I'll keep it in mind & keep trying when I have time.

@woyapp On the spider identification group on Facebook I was told by one of the people with knowledge that it's one of the undescribed species that people see. My main concern on here is that ones that are listed as Hasarius kinda look like this one, but don't seem to look like anything I've seen elsewhere for Hasarius? That is confusing me.

@KorinneM I think you're correct about the Hasarius sightings. I'll have a look over the next few days and try to sort them out.

Also, @woyapp I vote for this unknown species of spider here being nicknamed "Sunny moustache". :D
