That avic is deemed a "monkey spider" by the natives there as it can jump, and often does up to 2 meters they say. They were fairly common, I saw about 5 webbed up in tree trunks. Thanks guys, and again, sorry for the rather bad shots, I tend to do better, but we were always on the move!

Tom, I think that small black/brown spider was a baby T sling, unknown sp. It was perhaps a 1/2"-3/4" diameter.

I am in love with the Aviculaira sp. The yellow bands really make it pop, kinda looks like a true A. metallica(joke). I wish we had these in the hobby. They are amazing.
