thank you Kate. I really like this little spider. It was tiny so I'm not surprised it was immature.

Correction - I mixed up the photos! This one is identified as Latrodectus geometricus (immature).

Tentative identification as Cispius kimbius by Ansie Dippenaar-Schoeman.

This looks like it might be Panicum maximum (the grass, not the spider!)
