TY Yumi. my amazement level is still humming from this sighting. The legs out was like an anemone - really just waving about - not going anywhere, and then back in.

Hi @VickiC , it seems like there is a duplicate sighting, at Unverified Spider

They are a master of camouflage aren't they! Haven't seen a photo with their legs out in some time so it's very cool you managed to capture it. Exciting to say it's the first sighting submitted to NatureMapr from the Albury-Wodonga region thus far :)

Sometimes it can help to first focus on something else (like your lovely ruler!), lock the focus, then move your camera to adjust the focus onto the spider!
