Unfortunately this gorgeous specimen was found dead outside our garage door. Either a Shrike (Butcher Bird) living in a tree nearby got hold of it - or maybe it climbed the wall and fell.
It was found to be non-responsive.
I was fascinated by the colouring as I've only experienced the Grey/Black spiders against Table Mountain before. The specimen was placed to allow me to take the pics. The pole in the 1st pic is a weathered 100mm diameter fence post. |
