Philoponella congregabilis
i spotted this spider in my yard. it's back just exceptionally big. when it moves around off it web, it just moving like off balanced. however when it get back onto it's web, it can moves around very quickly and well balance. and it's not very often to be spotted in my yard
What on earth is that poor spider carrying around! I feel for him! It would be like being pregnant forever! fantastic spot kimkiu :)
Fabulous! Looks to be a pan-web spider. Here is a link that shows something very similar (Cyrtophora exanthematica) The pattern isn't an exact match but there may be variation within the species. http://brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_orbw...
It's carrying a boulder! Excellent find kimkiu and welcome to ProjectNoah.
