Mesida argentiopunctata (Rainbow, 1916) Silver-spotted Mesida

A pretty rainforest species, common all along the Queensland coast in lush vegetation. Not often noticed because of its small size, especially the tiny male, which has mastidions (projecting teeth) on the front face of the chelicerae (jaws). ♀ 5mm ♂ 2mmmm

Female from side Kingfisher Park, Julatten QLD
