We had a flying visit to NZ early Dec last year so I had a short while to look about some gardens in Auckland. The weather was terrible. This jumping spider was in a gazania.

a good shot then the rest. The story is this one would go into the rocks every time I came by, but would be back perched atop a pebble after 5 mins or so. So on the 4th attempt I started with my max 630mm effective reach with the bird lens. Then on the 5th I stuck the macro back on and just waited, hovering above their favourite spot until they came back out.

Found her while digging a trench for a water pipe. The soil is heavy clay, shady with lots of leaf litter. Very hard to spot but pretty. Could be a strangely marked Golden/ Brown but I see lots of those all the time, never seen one like this. Makes you wonder what a male would look like, rather striking I would guess!
