Good morning all unless it's not morning then good afternoon or good evening depending on where in the world you are. It is time for this weeks creature and it is then wraparound spider.
This spider is found on the western side of Australia and is only small females are 9mm in length and males only 5mm, they have venom but are not particularly dangerous to humans.
Their colour makes it easy for them to conceal themselves in trees as they are built for tree hugging its body is shaped like a shield with the underside concaved to fit snugly around a branch and its abdomen slightly raised to complete a line.
It builds large orb shaped webs between trees in order to catch its prey.
Eek.. i just skipped over that whole post.
