    Awesome find Ernst! Stunning little spider and so intriguing. The rain today is great for the flora and fauna - but the ground so dry after all this time, much flash flooding. Posted 6 years ago

The Two-spined spider

"Poecilopachys australasia" is an Australian orb-weaving spider which has been recorded in New Zealand since the early 1970s. The spider is nocturnal, spinning a cart-wheel-shaped web at night which it consumes in the morning. Females can be commonly found on the undersides of citrus tree leaves during the day.
