Great shots Geoffrey!

As one who likes to photograph small things,  I'll dare to attempt an i.d.
Maybe Dolophones sp?

My photos are of a Turret Spider Dolophones turrigera - yours seems similar but must be another species sans the turret?

There are 20+ sp. of Dolophones in Oz. They build small orb webs at night but usually remove them before dawn.

They're clearly delicious! :)

cheers,

Bron King
