Some new spiders for me.
4

This jumping spider is so small and young that it is translucent.

It is on the flower stalk of an agapanthus.

At the tip of the same flower stalk was this flower spider eating another spider.

Today, on the same flower stalk, I found this leaf hopper nymph.

As I was taking photos of the leaf hopper nymph, this spider dropped in and settled on the flower pod.

I have sent photos to the Queensland museum for ID.

It looks like this is a six eye spider.

The happened because I didn't switch my flash from TTL to manual.

They usually get right out of frame.  This one was in the upper right hand corner.

I haven't seen this color pattern on a jumping spider before.

The blue bottle fly is as larger as the spider.

After this shot, it turned to face me.
