nedfisherDescription
A very interesting spider observed at night in mallee habitat at Ngarkat Conservation Park. The abdomen of the spider has a large appendage shaped like a broken twig and also has two smaller bumps closer to the head which are coloured bright yellow. The sides of the abdomen are mottled green and yellow in colour.

I originally had this one identified as Neogonodactylus curacaoensis, the most easily identifiable difference is N. wennerae has spots on the carapace, antennae and antennal scales, N. curacaoensis does not. Also, the eyes are pink, N. curacaoensis are green. Here are some references:

davemmdaveDescription
Large aggregation in about 2m depth via snorkel. I estimate there were at least 70, and probably closer to 80-90.Most were mature adults but some older juveniles or immature younger ones were present peripheral to the main aggregation which formed a veritable mound of many individuals over many square metres of benthos.
