mattcampbellausDescription
At least 3 of these seen. Quite small, less than 3mm long. At one stage I had a male Maratus pavonis only a few cm from this specimen and it looked big in comparison. And while they certainly jumped, they seemed to prefer walking about, often sheltering underneath stones before briefly moving about.
