Summary

[edit]
Description Xysticus bilimbatus This spider is shown on page 105 of Mascord's 1980 book Spiders of Australia, where he notes that in New South Wales it is mostly found on the flowers of Pultenaea spp. The female has a body length of about 5mm, the male 3mm. The egg sac is a small chamber made by fastening together the flowers with silk. When the eggs are laid the spider stays with them in the chamber, probably hunting from the entrance, grabbing small insects attracted to the flowers. This one was on a Grevillea with large yellow flowers, in a local park, Jevons Street Park, The Gap, Brisbane. This young female had a body length of about 4mm.
