First time spotting a funnel-web spider! Beautiful webs-- it's a shame how hard it is to photograph the funnels.

Thanks for the kind comments!
Bherath, this was found on a short leafy plant, with almost 'cupped' leaves. That's very fascinating though, I wish I'd find such an arachnid! This guy was a beautiful find for me, since I haven't seen such a thing before.
Ava-- I've just added it! Thanks for the suggestion.
Please consider adding this spotting to the Animal Architecture mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8082...
great rare spotting
did u find this funnel web on a tree i have some spottings of funnel webs that build without help of any leaves and they are near the ground level
but could't got a clear view of the spider as it always use to hide inside the funnel im still trying to get photograph of the spider before uploading so i can identify the species
any way you have done a great job and im also looking forward to see the ID for this cute spider
Love the first shot but i look at the last shot where you're focusing on the web and it gives me this really kind of abstract magical, mystical feeling.
