It has become something of a daily routine to check for jumping spiders in the agapanthus in our neighbour’s garden, and it payed off nicely on this occasion with a brilliant male Opisthoncus necator. Interestingly it was just on twelve months since the same species was found in another clump quite some distance away. The specific name necator means slayer or murderer, and the first image shows the massive jaws that may be the reason for the name. A female Opisthoncus was found in the same clump as the male a year ago, and that has occurred again on this occasion, which makes it likely that it is a female necator.
