User's notes

I think it's Hasarius Adansonii based on the abdomen pattern matching what is listed on here for it, and it was within an area about 5-10 m wide with others that possibly look like younger ones with the same patterning.

@MichaelMulvaney is it possible to tell whether it's male or female? I'm assuming a younger one based on not matching either adult as far as I can tell.

I think it is a young male but @Harrisi @woyapp @YumiCallaway may have a better idea

I'm not sure of this one, @Harrisi may know best, or @woyapp may know something.

With my narrow band of salticid knowledge I know for sure it is not a Maratus. As to what it is I am not so sure, sorry.
