A chance check of the trunk of the Allocasuarina littoralis paid off with the discovery of a jumping spider that appears to have captured another jumping spider, not an unusual event. It is Clynotis severus, noted for being found on grey bark, and in particular, casuarinas, where its colour and body markings make it very hard to see. Various jumping spiders are found in a range of habitats, some of the local Maratus are found in the leaf and stick litter on the forest floor. Other species seem to prefer vegetation that is succulent or partly so, but this one is especially interesting in that it has a liking for a particular type of tree.<\/p>\n
