Field Notes

Description:

A tiny (10mm) brown spider with relatively large, ball abdomen, a few stout hairs on legs, building a chaotic looking web within the bark crevices of a large eucalyptus tree. It seems well suited to its chosen location judging by the colours.

Habitat:

Within the bark of a large eucalyptus planted on a suburban nature strip.

Notes:

I love the way it is handling web from the very tips of several legs at once.
