Habitat:

Unknown vine at night in the backyard.

Thanks Maria! I wish it was more cooperative but I guess I wouldn't care for someone shining a headlamp in my face either :)

Thank you Satyen! We have one recorded species in the area but it has a flat, round head with a dark pattern. It's on my list of spiders to find! Thank you for the suggestion though :)
