Field Notes

Description:

small (.5cm or so) white ovoid egg cases on silk stems

Habitat:

Hidden in the bole of a smooth skinned eucalypt (one of the bloodwoods) in a remnant coastal dry forest ridge

Notes:

It looks as though at least two species of this spider are very common in this area of forest and they and their eggs are prolific
