trapped...

I have never seen a spider like this - but saw this one in my garden. It did not notice me as it was busy dispensing a bee.

 

Through my research, I believe it is a flower spider 'diaea albiceris' which is not common and usually found in New South Wales and Queensland. This one is further south! The female has a body length of 7mm; the male is unknown. They are a spider that can be spotted during the day as it hides during the night.
