Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this one on my young sweet acacia. As I approached, it became very straight to blend into the stem by extending its legs in front of and behind itself. Given its behavior and proximity to the river, I'm guessing this is a Long-jawed Orb-weaver.

Hi. Yes,the best I can make of this is one of the long jawed orb weavers.
A nice companion that will help protect your acacia and no threat to you.
