Spiders

I am not a spider specialist, so some of the identifications of species may be wrong. I am greatful for any corrections. Also, some of the images are not perfect, but more of documentary character.

Great job on this gallery - such a nice variety of spiders and you were able to ID almost all! We photographed 3 species last summer (first time we even noticed them) and so far only IDd one! Lloyd & Sandy

Great gallery. Quite a variety. You seem to know your spiders. Love your Linyphia triangularis. Best regards, Marc.

Mmmmmh.... great gallery, it gives me motivation to do the same...

Do you know of any spider which builds a square web? I have only seen one and it was anchored to the ground at the bottom corners and to leaves at the top corners and the actual web part was about 6 inches across and appeared to be of the "fuzzy" type of silk - no sign of the "builder" though. I live in subtropical Queensland, Australia. I thought it could be a type of Hyptiotes.
