This unique and delightful looking little spider was seen blending nicely with the bright yellow flowers of native Hibbertia scandens.

Identified as genus Cheiracanthium. The name is a reference to the backwardly directed process on the cymbium of the male palp which can be seen in my shot.

Male 10 mm body length
