 P. fimbriata in Queensland prefers to lay eggs on dead , brown leaves about 20 millimetres long , suspended near the top of its capture web , and then cover the eggs with a sheet of silk . If there is no dead leaf available , the female will make a small horizontal silk platform in the capture web , lay the eggs on it , and then cover the eggs . In Northern Territory , P. fimbriata occasionally lays eggs in a dead leaf , but more usually in a silk egg sac on a small horizontal web suspended on the main web . : 434 – 435 , 469
