    Attention: Stagecoach and Deetheturk et al

    If you guys haven't seen this yet, some of the most adorable jumpers yet, and all recently identified new species in Australia. How can you not like spiders nicknamed Sparklemuffin and Skeletorus?

    Many thanks for the link Jack. Some great little fellas and would be a real treat to photograph, perhaps I can get a couple posted over in a matchbox

    Let's hope Izzie does not find any on her next trip to Aussie, they would more than likely end up in the freezer Yes Izzie, I'm still lurking here in the background to follow your antics when I have the time.

    It ended up in the freezer. When I go back for a visit again, I will go to Greg's no-man's-land and look for them but freeze them first and send them to you in mail, OK??? I will tell them it is part of your bug studies and should give you a big grant for it...

    I just book mark the link last night and watched it this morning. It is absolutely beautiful and coming from Oz, they have aboriginal-like markings on their backs...thanks for the links...

    How many more species have they not identified, maybe I can name one for Grahame, one for Geoff and another one for David the Turkish minister....
