    Well spotted, they are so very small. I am not confident to species ID these as so many within the Dolophones genus look incredibly similar. Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

The Dolophnes pilosa

Dolophnes pilosa is one of the "Wrap around spiders" (genus Dolophnes) found in Australia and Oceania, named so for their ability to wrap themselves around a twig or other substrate in order to blend in with this background for camouflage.
