Theridion pyramidale
5mm slender legged spider of the shape of a red-back or black widow. Golden and multi-coloured abdomen and striped legs
This one is on a steel powder-coated fence panel above a small Badumna which may be prey
I thought it might be a Red Back in either juvenile female or male form.

Another spotting of this species from Queensland. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/145...
I believe this is a Theridion pyramidale.
