User's notes

This is possibly a species of Ground Spider or Ant-eating Spider, but I am not sure which. It was also at Aranda Bushland Nature Reserve and very close to where we saw the first Spotted Grass Frog. This spider was prowling along the ground, presumably looking for small creatures to eat.
