User's notes

These elegant and beautiful green spiders arranged themselves to be seen as part of the dianella flower, presumably waiting for a visiting insect. I was not sure if they were even something living until I forced one of them to move by poking it!

I found this guy on the Arachne.org.au site

Note - most often found on Dianella, waiting for insects to ambush. Shape and relative leg length fits. You can also make out the pair of red dorsal humps on the abdomen of the one on the right. Very nice!
