It's always best to drop everything and do exactly as he says. So far he's never let me down on the exciting-discovery-in-the-garden stakes*.
This morning he thought he'd found me a stick insect! It wasn't though, he wasn't wearing his glasses and closer, pointy-mouse-eyed, inspection revealed 8 legs, not 6.
Still, what an amazing looking beastie!A quick google and I think I've identified her, a Deinopis Subrfua, also known as a Rufous-Net-Casting Spider.
Her 2 beady little eyes right at the front are the give away I think.
Rest assured, I'll be stalking Ms Deinopis until I catch her wielding her net.In other, spider-related, news a golden orb weaver wove her web in the best human-catching spot, just near the back steps. We never actually got caught because the web always had something in it, be it some Jacaranda flowers,
or a poor desiccated xmas beetle.
I'm forgiving the killing of the harbinger of xmas because, as you can see, she also caught one of those blood sucking little fuckers, a mosquito. 
* Nor the cute-bebe-animal-on- TV stakes, or the freaky-person-doing/wearing-something-odd stakes either!

that is some serious zoom!
What a marvelous, leggy spider! Hope you can catch (and photograph) it casting its web!
That is the classic stick figure. With eyes in its crotch.
Wild!
Literally.
;o)
Maybe those are his balls, rather than his eyes?
Zoomie, no, I think it's female, because that item between it's eyes is definitely a vajayjay.
I'm boggling here people, BOGGLING :)
