Spiders!

by supercarys - last update: Jan 31, 2008

The Garden Orb Weaver

These spiders are about 5cm in length and are active at night. They build huge webs, this one was about 3 metres from top to bottom.

Look closely and you can see the web coming out of its spinerettes.
Same spider. It's actually spinning the web in this photo - its rear back leg on the right is attaching the web from its spinerettes to the rest of the web.
This web is about two and a half metres high, the spider is close up in the photo below.

St Andrew's Cross

This is the underbelly of a female St Andrew's Cross spider with a male hovering cautiously above her. She'll try to eat him after they mate.
Another St Andrew's Cross. Close up you can see the patterns better. It's a little too bright (it was night time) but you can still see it pretty well.
This is a cute little spider currently residing in my front garden. It is no bigger than 1cm.
No idea what this one is but it has a very cool skull shaped marking on its cephalothorax. It was about 3cm long including legs.

It's eating an ant (that black blob under its "chin").

 Yep- the tram was red with a cage on top. Almost completely vertical on the climb- all while you look down to the great void below. That's the one! Scary! But well worth the mini heart attack! And I did see the waterfall from the boardwalk. So pretty.
