User's notes
One of the smaller (5mm) and more successful Bird-dropping spiders and one of the few remaining out and about in the winter weather at ANBG. The spider is seen sitting up in its ambush position with its legs drawn up around the head and eyes. The first image is a rear view, displaying what might be defensive markings resembling a predator's face.
