User's notes
Taken by torchlight as a sample of 22 orb-weavers on this night. Given a possible 15 specimens it is not possible to add a photo of each spider so hope this collection is sufficient. ID often based on the underside of each specimen. Due to the location of the webs it was not always possible to get a photo of both the topside and underside of each. All quite small. It's been a few years since I've seen large orb-weavers in the yard.
