Brown Sailor Spider
Neoscona nautica
The brown sailor spider inhabits shrubs, gardens, woodland edges, and coastal vegetation in Australia. It is a nocturnal orb-weaver, building a large sticky web to catch moths, flies, and other flying insects. The web is often renewed regularly, while the spider waits near it to sense the vibrations of trapped prey.
