Flat-brown Jumping Spider - ? Astia sp.

FAMILY SALTICIDAE

This page contains pictures and information about Flat-brown Jumping Spiders that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Body length 10mm

 

 

 

Pictures were taken on Oct 2007 in Karawatha Forest, Dentata Track. 

 

 

This jumping spider like to hunt on large smooth bark gum tree trunk. They build retreat on the tree trunk as well. In Karawatha Forest on later Sep 2009, we found there were more than 20 young Small Bark Jumper built retreat on the same tree. 

 

 

The first picture shows the jumping spider becomes the prey of the Comb-Footed Spider.
