Leaf Curling Spider

Phonognatha graeffei

Description:

I think the smaller spider on the outside of the leaf may be a baby, just because it was considerably smaller in size. The female spider builds the retreat and egg-sac by curling dry leaf. It usually hangs from a twig near the web. Male spider is a little smaller than the female.
