New Species!_TNY_2894
This is my first shot of this jumping spider species.
It's called Synageles venator and mimics ants. The place where I found it wasn't very glamourous - my neighbour's brown plastic trash can, but at least I got a nice and sharp shot of it.
After getting this shot, I managed to get this guy into a small plastic tube and took him inside my garden, hoping to get some better shots, but as soon as I let it out it did that jumping spider thing and jumped/teleported out of sight so this shot was all that I was left with.
Still a new species though.
