Telamonia sp @Sunset way by Kevin

Spotted this small spider at sunset way on 2005 Dec 10th. It clung onto me

rather than me looking for it. I had to laugh when i first saw it cos it

looks like a soccer ball with so many patches. Can hardly see where its real

eyes are. (it must have alot of enemies)

Thanks to Jeremy for helping with the id of this jumping spider!
