Ciao
Following the discussion about the Argyrodes sp
From the same location, sometimes even from the same webs.
Uloborus sp known for the horizontal web sheet they make in low grass or shrub
but this time I was surprise to find them on strange (to me) location
The first find was OK, not so classic but definitely nice web, even almost vertical

It's become more strange when I start to find them on the "big wall" of the eucalyptus's trunks around.
as u can see not easy to find.

Even more suspicious, when I start to find them share webs with Holocnemus pluchei, in one place I found 3 U. plumipes in neighborliness of a few mighty H. pluchei cary there eggs and some males.
This one was a female with egg sac

On other trees trunks I was finding more females with eggs sac.
If its look strange how do they feed in this location the evidence was hang all around. flies and other insects trapped in the dilute silk construction glue on the trunk.

To complete the story, I can say not all break the rules.
Here at last one specimen build the web in the classic way
but why up to more 2 m above the ground?

It's look that the population of the Uloborus plumipes can be very creative when they need to deal with survival strategy. The Eucalyptus wood is may not ideal for those spiders and probably the competition with the Orb-web spider for web location are tough, but its look they find the way to make the best of the habitat.
