This spider was about 6 mm front to back in the posture seen here. It was found sitting partially upright in the posture shown, on a curved section of a handrail in the ANBG Sydney Region Gully. The first image shows the rear view. The second image shows the front view with the spider's legs gathered around its fangs.
