Small-eyes Net-caster - Avella angulata (Menneus angulata)

FAMILY DEINOPIDAE

This page contains pictures and information about Net-casting Spiders that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia. 

Female leg to leg 60mm  

 

Pictures taken in Karawatha Forest during mid summer. This Net-casting Spider does not have the pair of large eyes, like the other species in this family does.
