Spider approx. 1.5cm across. Originally found on the fly wire door a, later shifted to some leaf litter in the front yard. Apparently they use their camouflage to hide during the day building a large vertical web to capture prey at night.

Wonderful. I want so much to find one of these. I pour over trees for hours and haven't had any luck yet!
