Axel, we are building up to including spiders in Canberra Nature Map, but it is still some time away. This is a net-casting spider in that it holds a web between its four front legs which it casts over prey. Until spiders are a part of Canberra Nature Map you can place your images on Bowerbird, which is a similar site hosted by the Victorian Museum.
