Field Notes - If this is a swan plant moth it is supposed to have translucent wings but you cant tell in this photo on our ceiling. We have lots of swan plants in our yard so this fellow was probably attracted by our lights at night. Wing span just over a cm

Field Notes - This looks like a common jumping spider but i was surprised that he left a trail of silk behind him on the lily leaf, perhaps as a safety line? He is bigger than average (1cm) so maybe more mature than my previous sightings. The lily was in the middle of the pond so i presume he walked across the surface to get there

Field Notes - Found in an orb weaver style web about 25 cm in diameter, strung between two objects about 1.5 meters off the ground. It was waiting in the centre of the web with legs furled. Spider is about 4mm long with banded legs and a chevron on the abdomen. I read that Eriophora pustulosa is very common and hugely variable in colour and markings.

Field Notes - These are very numerous around our garden. They swivel around towards small vibrations so this spider startled when the canvas moved in the wind. It constantly swivelled its body left and right and can gain a little wider field of view by tilting the thorax at an angle from the abdomen or raising it. I guess this helps to scan for potential prey. When i wave my hand over him it seems that he stops moving. Perhaps a way of avoiding detection by predators? A green fly landed about 20cm from him and he started to stalk but after landing in the vicinity a 2nd time, the fly departed.
