A very common small spider (females ranging from 4mm to 8mm) with colourful markings found in dry scrub. This species builds a vertical orb web, and stays there day and night. The web of some of these spiders has been seen to be decorated with nearly vertical stabilimentum (like a clockface at 5 minutes to 5 or its mirror image).
