Backobourkia heroine
A large orb spider with ornate patterns on the abdomen.
Among flowering tea tree on the roadside.
this large orb spider was too big for my close up lens and when I ran off to get my sensible lens, she ran off too. http://www.findaspider.org.au/find/spide... http://eol.org/data_objects/25775386
