hi Ernst, you requested "Arkys cornutus" but now used another species. Changed your mind?

  Sorry Ferdi I didn't realise that I put A. cornutus in . So please leave it as A . lancearius .
  Thanks and wishing you a great festive season.

The Triangular Spider

"Arkys lancearius" is a common Australian spider belonging to the family Araneidae. An ambush hunter found resting on leaves and ferns, though it may be found hanging from just a few threads of silk. The front two pairs of legs are large, suited to grabbing small insects. The rear pairs of legs are much smaller.
