These alpine jumping spiders never disappoint with their camouflage. In the Southern Alps, they are grey (see https://inaturalist.nz/observations/20903295), these ones in the Red Hills suit the red rocks perfectly. If you take your eye off them for a second to get the camera out, they are impossible to find again!

helenmackyDescription
A female. Found in a garden at Waihi 28-3-17. The centre of her web was 2.4m above ground level and spanned 2m between two big shrubs. I watched her for 7 weeks in situ and added various bugs to her web which she fed on. Photo shows an adult female South African Mantis. When her web disintegrated in bad weather I brought her home and she lived in a terrarium for 12 weeks. During that time she made 2 golden egg sacs. She died on 8-8-17

Tiny (~4mm) I believe this species is shown in Andrew Crowe's "Which New Zealand Spider" book as the undescribed "Cream jumping spider"..
While this doesn't have the pure white pedipalps that the one in Andrew's book does, it does have those two pronounced black spots in the red diamond on this spider's head - plus it is mentioned in Andrew's book that it was found Above Tairua on the Coromandel, this individual I found below Tairua.

Mating pair. The male seemed to be enticing the female with a tiny insect, though that could just be coincidental!

This was the first time I captured photos of S.trapezia doing in a katipo. It has remained on the top of my hit list since then, with a few more incidents on katipo, a handful on Anoteropsis litoralis, and a few other species I'm less concerned about.
Location about 200m north of the OB surf club.

Three obs showing three individuals of @robingrace's undescribed scree Salticid.
This one was the most obliging. Female adult??
Swear I saw something scuttle away that looked very similar but was MUCH larger... Then again, they're so well camouflaged that it's really hard to judge scale when they're on the move.

dustinlamontDescription
Collected on 25 Jan while taking down malaise trap in KBU. Later moulted to ?maturity, as seen here.
Looks like "Trite mustilina" but revision of the group is about to begin so I'll leave it coarse.
