No idea what it is, but found her running around in the garden last week:

Very hard to get a sharper focus as she's so small (about 7mm DLS)

Good pic considering the size! I like the spikey bits on her legs!

I'll try and get some better ones when I can be bothered, plus; she wouldn't keep still.

Maybe she thought you were gonna pinch her sack and use it as an excuse to buy more tights :biggrin_hat:

Looks like somekind of Wolf Spider to me.

Nice pic BTW.

I think it could be a Dolomedes Minor. a type of nursery web spider. I looked up nz spiders on the web and found one similar.

Yeah they all hatched out a few weeks ago, spent a while on Mum's back, then finally ventured off. I've let them all go now.

Thats wonderful, thanks for letting us know. You should have taken some pics of them, that would have been cute to see.
You'll have to find yourself another one now ;)
