In sparse woodland on the bark of an old red gum about 2m up the trunk
This is an exciting find. The spider has become the colour of the bark of the red gum and even shows the striping of its home. I photographed spiders exclusively for almost a decade and this is the first red one so far. It has some sort of mite or midge on it's back and is about 4 to 5cm long as it sits there.
