Foliage webbing spider - Phryganoporus candidus For quite some time I have spotted rather messy clumps of webbings but when I opened them I found nothing inside . Maybe it was alwise the wrong time in the year. Now in our spring I found more and when opened up I found many spiderlings and one adult ,presumably the female. The clumpy/messy web did have several openings and the adults escape easily. Australia,Eamw spiders,Geotagged,Phryganoporus candidus,Spring Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
