Can you help me identify this bizzare little spider? The pic was taken in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia, about 15 years ago and I have wondered ever since. The body, as I recall, was only about one quarter of an inch long. If you are interested in Australian critters, have a look at the rest of my gallery. Regards, Frilly.
