This beauty currently resides in (and builds her web above) my rose bush. She's the most amazing gold colour - really metallic. I haven't been able to find any photos that confirm species ID, and when I asked in a spider identification forum I got no answers. Would love to know what she is!
Thanks, Kim. I had wondered about Backobourkia, but my research was telling me there are only three known species and they are all brown and have much more striking markings. The colour of mine is throwing me.
