User's notes
The images show a Bird-dropping spider sitting in its ambush position on a leaf at ANBG’s Rainforest Gully. Adjacent to the spider are the silk wrapped remains of its prey. The size of the spider is indicated by a red mite (possibly an Anystid mite) seen wandering around the spider in several of the images, and a white Springtail close by.
