found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

- The Flower Spider hides on flower or branch, front four legs ready to
seize a visiting insect. Their abdomen is white and yellow in colour, well
camouflaged when it sits on flower. They have 8 eyes and with good eye sight.
They will see you and retreat when you approach. We can find them all year
round in our backyard even in the cool winter in Brisbane.
