This spiderin life has a structure and pattern resembling a small moth, though this mimicry would be extremely unlikely, as mimicking moths would increase the attractiveness as prey. The colour is variable but often has a bright white section across the rear and penetrating inwards along the upper surface of the abdomen. There appears to be great variability in appearance. ♀ 4mm ♂ 3mm
