Screeching and riding thermals above and near Worsley Spur. Maybe juvenile bird, exploring from the hills? Uncertain about call.
This looks like Steatoda capensis has taken down a larger (meaner) spider. Anew situation in my book. The squashed S.capensis beside the corpse was alive when I arrived.
This was the first time I captured photos of S.trapezia doing in a katipo. It has remained on the top of my hit list since then, with a few more incidents on katipo, a handful on Anoteropsis litoralis, and a few other species I'm less concerned about.
Location about 200m north of the OB surf club.
Location very approx. During a sort of field day, with my Dutch "Cousin"...
Fluffy silky serpentine case with hard brown pea-like inclusions. Found between window and window housing, Kaimais.
Nothing alive therein. Empty hatched brown pea-like inclusions.
