Western Australia is home to an amazing array of spiders, with many undescribed species. From the large huntsman and wolf spiders to the tiny jumping spiders. Some spiders will be obvious, hanging from large webs that are strung out between shrubs and trees, whilst others will be hiding motionless among the flowers and on leaves, these most likely being ambush predators.
