Hallo there Mangrovejumper!
Wah! Wherever you travel you manage to catch a jumper!
First Hawaii, now Australia. You have the luck of a true fighting spider enthusiast.
The one from Hawaii definitely looked like a Thania subopressa.
Check out the link below for pics of jumpers that look like the one from Australia, by Jerzy Proszynski.
I got it by googling "jumping spiders".

Your jumper looks like an
Opisthoncus or
Simaetha.
I wonder how the experts classify them? To me jumpers have fuzzy palps or don't, hah hah!
FS Bros! Look at these kangs from Borneo and Bali at the same website (choose "Thania" at the genus menu)

3pm.
The sky was heavy with dark clouds.
Ura and I went up to PA and met Yuda and Eugene, who had been hunting there already for a few hours.
We brought out our fs to compare size. Just at this time Ken25 and friend arrived.
Now it was confirmed. Ura's Royal and Yuda's 1st king are both L-size, maybe could compare with Termy, even Titan.
It was starting to drizzle a liitle and I was wondering whether to call it a day when Vincent arrived.
That made it a total of 7 kakis. We decided to fight the fs. Ura recorded a number of good matches.
But just as Yuda's 1st king challenged mine, Durian, it started to rain heavily.
We ran for cover....
Later, when the rain let up we went home.
End of today's story.
Next weekend: Meet at NTU to challenge Ah Kim and Peter (aka Buaya).
(Maybe only, have to confirm).
