The spider genus Backobourkia is recently described, going by the common name of Outback Orb Weavers. Two have been found in the garden, one in 2016, and one this season. The first was nicely marked and had set up home in the Tetratheca thymifolia and is probably Backobourkia heroine.
The second found this year with its very productive web strung between two Xerochrysums is a much paler individual.
Honey bee on the menu.
