Pushing up the daisies
NB: image has been turned for greater detail. This little spider was upside down when I photographed him.
Found making his way through a patch of daisies. This is a male Helpis minitabunda, a jumping spider native to this country.
Of note on the males are the thicker and longer front legs and pronounced chelicerae underneath the two white facial bands.
10 mm body length.
