A few nights ago we noticed the web had been built off to the side - maybe she was learning. But last night it was slap bang in the middle of the driveway again, so I took a few photos.

I actually DID get the web, on the camera screen it looked like the web wouldn't show.

This is how her topside looks. All the photos I took of her other side were blurry, but it has pretty stripes all over. She is HUGE, a good 8cm from top to bottom.
Here's a shot to get some perspective of her size.
