Eriophora transmarina Wondering if this is fungus on and around the orb weaver, or possibly eggs - but wouldn&#039;t they be in a sac? Perhaps chance, that the spider just rested here on top of another&#039;s eggs. <br />

The Australian garden orb weaver spider is a very common species of spider with many variants in size, shape, and colour across the coastal regions of Australia. They have very large abdomens when well-fed and exhibit a tremendous colour-range from off-white through tan, brown to almost black.
