The Enamelled Spider is common in Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria and parts of Queensland. It waits for prey in its sloping web at night and often retreats to surrounding vegetation in the day. Its prey is small flying insects. Its round, red-brown woolly silk egg sac is flat on the bottom where it is fastened. It contains eggs 1 mm in diameter in a sticky mass. ♀ 18mm ♂ 9mm
