User's notes
This spider was only about 2 mm long. It was first seen hanging from a grass stalk where it was wrestling with an ant. After I accidentally knocked it to the ground it busily dragged the ant along behind it. Similar to Euryopis. A Hadrotarsine ant eater?

I agree, Cath: Theridiidae-Hadrotarsinae, based on Whyte & Anderson (2017) in 'A field guide to spiders of Australia'.
