This is one of Australia's larger jumping spiders, and very common in Queensland. It also occurs in New Guinea, northern New South Wales, the Northern Territory, northern Tasmania and Western Australia.
The males are strikingly coloured and decorated with long white "side whiskers", which rise to a peak surmounted by a topknot of black hairs. Females lack the whiskers and topknot, but instead feature a red and white "mask".

This is a beautiful spider. Its abdomen is triangular to heart-shaped , with white spots on its bright orange body. Its two pairs of front legs are with strong spines for capturing prey. Its two hind pairs legs are relatively small. This spider look similar to the other Triangular Spider species, but less common. The spider was hiding under leaf and waiting for prey. Notice the spider had laid a layer of silk under the leaf. This helped the spider moving around under the leaf by grabbing on those silks. This spider does not build web. However, this silk layer laying skill may evolved from the web building skill.

Some female lynx spiders guard their egg sacs and hatched offspring for up to eight weeks until the young disperse. While the primary reason for egg-guarding is likely to be protection from predators, they have also been observed releasing offspring from the egg sac when it is time for the spiderlings to emerge. One study documented vigorous defence of eggs from potential predators ranging from killing, biting, flicking predators away, and/or relocating the egg sac.

Common Assassin Bugs (Pristhesancus plagipennis) have the long head with powerful proboscis. They use the powerful proboscis to puncture their prey. Their legs are long so that they have long attack distance. Adult bugs are brown in colour with transparent wings. Nymphs are dark brown to black with brightly orange abdomens.

A wasp is any insect of the narrow-waisted suborder Apocrita of the order Hymenoptera which is neither a bee nor an ant; this excludes the broad-waisted sawflies (Symphyta), which look somewhat like wasps, but are in a separate suborder. The wasps do not constitute a clade, a complete natural group with a single ancestor, as bees and ants are deeply nested within the wasps, having evolved from wasp ancestors. Wasps that are members of the clade Aculeata can sting their prey.
