#attus

First described as Attus auricomus by NZ arachnologist Arthur T. Urquhart in 1886. Who then went on to describe the same species as Plexippus capillatus, Attus suffuscus, Attus kirkii and Attus adustus. In 1917, French naturalist Raymond Comte de Dalmas described it again as Trite vafra. In 1935 American arachnologist Elizabeth Bangs Bryant realised they were all the same species.

A common Jumping Spider endemic to New Zealand. The one at the top with the blonde moustache is a male.

Smart enough to learn which prey are bad to eat after a single encounter.
