User's notes
A tiny spider on hakea bush?that camouflaged itself, mimicking the shape and texture of a tiny nut, much like a tiny version of the hakea nut. Very elusive, it seemed to slide away behind branches and clung closely to them. Very fine and simple T shaped web. One strand between 2 branches with a strand hanging from that with spider swinging on the bottom.
