Field Notes

Notes:

Seen in a creek in Kondalilla National Park. The first shot shows the fishing spider underwater - the silvery sheen on the body and legs seems to be tiny air bubbles. The second shot is the same spider before it went in the water. Third shot is another spider of the same type, about a metre away, which shows the body markings.
