Nice, I hadn’t heard of these two (both are NZ exclusive) so I looked into them a bit. Saw the exact image you posted on an old forum post and was about to call you out … then I noticed the username 😅
D. dondalei had only just had its discription published about 2 years before I took the photo but had always been known as different to the other fishing spiders
That’s so cool! I it’s hard for me to keep up with just he common spiders. Really cool to see something about NZ specific species. I have a field guide for Australia but for NZ and general SEA it’s always murky.
