Carepalxis are not often collected or observed, as they are secretive spiders, hiding by day. They are active at night, making small orb webs. This one was collected at night in early September on the northern side of the junction of Fish and Enoggera Creeks, Walton Bridge Reserve, The Gap. Body length: about 9mm long, 7mm wide, 8 mm high. It has rather stunning aerofoil shapes, the dorsal wings shared by many Araneids.
