Red and Black spider
Ambicodamus crinitus
-37.9027, 145.33
Field Notes
Description:
A small spider about 10 mm long with a blue black rounded abdomen and uniformly red legs and cephalothorax. The abdomen had a pale blue streak on the upper side.
Habitat:
Eucalyptus forests
Notes:
This little spider was found clambering up a Casuarina tree (the area had gum trees). Very fast moving.
Could not get more or better shots as he was so fast!
I saw one of these being killed and bundled away by a Daddy Long-leg spider (Pholus phalangioides), the other week.
