#3645 - Araneus circulissparsus - Speckled Orbweaver

Originally described as Epeira circulissparsa by Keyserling, in 1887.

You'd think the colour would be more worthy of naming it after, but there's at least two other Araneus species in Perth that are green. Although neither of them are named after the colour, either.

Plus, the actual pattern on this one can be quite variable - many have vivid red, yellow and white marks on the abdomen. The specific epithet refers to that, and is derived from the Latin for 'scattered circles'.

Either way, the species is widespread across Eastern and SW Australia, and spends the day hiding among foliage. No surprises there, at least.

Erskine Lakes, Sth. of Perth.
