This spider was actually smaller than the photo suggests. But very prettily marked. Its upsidedown on corrugated verandah roof

I'm actually not sure this is an orb-weaving spider, but I just wanted to get it into spiders rather than insects, so that people interested in spiders will have a look at it!

Yeah, they are hiding in terrestrial invertebrates, along with other miscellaneous things like snails and millipedes.

I'm not even sure of the family of this spider; need a better angle.
