i realise this a long shot but i was wondering if you might be able to ID this little fella? Apologies about the photo quality but they’re so small it was really hard to get decent shots. They’re not in such hot shape due to being terrorised by my cat, they’re about 5-8mm big and was found in Melbourne, Australia. Also, when I first spotted them, the abdomen was a lot darker, like the head.

[SUBMISSION]

It looks like a jumping spider (Salticidae) to me based on the eye arrangement, but I’m from North America and not very familiar with spiders from your corner of the world.

Just from some brief googling my best guess would be Hypoblemum griseum/Hypoblemum villosum(this was the picture with the best visual match), but, again, please don’t take that an authoritative ID because this is very far outside my area of familiarity.

Anybody else able to help?
