User's notes

A follow up to sighting 4428500. The spider was found hanging dead within its web with what appeared to be a hardened, sap-like material covering its head end. Unsure what has happened here as there were no obvious sap producing bushes directly above the spider's location and there wasn't any obvious physical damage to the spider.
