that we
found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

- This spider is not easily be noticed if it were resting on bark. We found
it when it was guarding its egg-sac on leaf. This spider is slow
moving.

  -
- The first time we found this spider was in Karawatha Forest.
-
 -
- We found this spider again in Sunnybank near Bulimba Creek.

- Both two times we found the spider were it was resting on its nest/egg sac
built by curled fresh leaf and silks. Both spiders did not move even a small
bit even with our interrupts.
