Speckled Orbweaver Spider
DESCRIPTION
I think this is the prettiest and most colourful Speckled Orbweaver (Araneus circulissparsus) I have seen to date here in Northern NSW in Australia. I just love these spiders, they have such variations in colours, and are so tiny, growing to a mere 5mm (or less) in body length. During the day they usually rest camouflaged on/under leaves, and at night they build their web to catch small insects. Definitely one of my most favourite spiders as they are so pretty. Unfortunately, like with other insects the past warm months, there weren't many at all, I suspect due to all the rain we've had AUTHOR
