Araneus cyrtarachnoides (Keyserling, 1887)

A small Arkys-like, Cyrtarachne-like spider quite common in Queensland. Body length up to 5mm. It is an intermediate step between the web-weaving Araneids and the ambush/ camouflage hunters. It retains a very Araneus like cephalothorax but has also begun to develop the sclerotized body like Arkys and Cyrtarachne species.
