A follow-up to sighting 4377160. This Bird-dropping spider at ANBG went on to produce two egg sacs over a two-week period before suddenly disappearing. It's seen here sitting on a silk platform with its light-coloured carapace and brown-coloured legs to the right of the first image.

Hi Bron. It does seem to be the same as sighting 3768442 and if so, then sighting 4377160 also needs to be identified as Celaenia sp. Tim
