Lost spider.

I wrote down the name of his spider but can’t find it now!!! I’ll keep looking. This photo was taken on my iPhone 11.

I had no idea Australia also had writing spiders. Don't let it write your name.

It is a St Andrew's Cross spider. I love them, we have quite a few in our garden.

Wonderful capture, not my favourite creature though.

I never heard the term writing spiders. So I just improved my knowledge by reading a bit about them.
