Flock of gulls at Lake Waihola, some with characteristics of both Red-billed and Black-billed. I'm wondering about hybrids?
The male is also known as the "monkey faced jumping spider".
Here is a male found in close proximity to a female (shot 7), well hidden in her retreat (shot 8).
Thanks to Robert and Anne Whyte for spotting this and telling me all about it (and for the lovely walk around Breakfast Creek).
very small - approx. 2.5 mm

2.5mm. Clearing away some shrubbery for a bike track when I felt something tickling my leg! (I put it on this flower because I thought It'd make a nice background)
stunner. would be great to know which species. Raynox is still serving me amazingly.
