Triangular Spider

Description:

A very attractive orange-peach coloured spider with two eyes on top of its head and an impressively patterned and coloured triangular abdomen. Approx 10mm.

Habitat:

On the bark of Pinus Radiata within tall eucalyptus forest (Dandenong Ranges)

Notes:

This spider was 'captured' by a smaller pholcidae which bit it a few times on a rear leg and it stopped moving. It then started to wrap the orange spider up in silk at which point my wife tried to extricate it with a stick - nature is a wonderful thing! http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b...
