Theridion pyramidale L. Koch, 1867 Pyramidal Theridion

This species builds a small tangled web among shrubs in eucalypt and dry rainforests - the web is usually not connected with the ground. It is very common in Brisbane gardens. The male, rarely seen, has a relatively longer cephalothorax and smaller abdomen but shares the markings.
