I would love to Jill. It is hard to search for missions so I'm glad that you suggested it to me. Thank you for your assistance with the ID's too. That is great! Cheers Andrea
This is Trite parvula a small jumping spider endemic to New Zealand. I would love it if you added your wonderful New Zealand spottings to the mission Biodiversity of North Island New Zealand http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15275123
