I spent a heap of time looking for more tiny spiders on the paperbark tree in my backyard, it's only 2 metres tall, but I found another fly mimic spider on it & it's smaller than the one I found a few weeks back. I wonder how many there are on it. Also found some other tiny spiders. Not easy to photograph. 3mm ish.
