Yesterday I was out on a mates property cutting firewood. I was stripping the bark off a ringbarked tree before dropping it and as I ripped away a large section of bark I uncovered what appeared a communal nesting site. There was atleast 80 mature spiders (all females judging by the abdomens) and an egg sac that would have been 150mm2, if not a bit larger.
I didn't get any pics, my phone was in my car and my car wasn't nearby.
I've never seen anything like this before and I've been in the bush most of my life.
