@MichaelMulvaney I see these all the time on long leafed eucalyptus, they make a little pyramid with the tip of the leaf. Is there any way to narrow down the ID?

Likely Cymbacha sp. I'll have a closer look though.

Thanks Emma, Hejor 1 several of the crab family spiders make leaf shelters so it narrows teh possibilities down without being definitive
