Species: | Golden Wishbone Spider (Aname sp ES02)This Photo: | S1, Male, dorsal | Thank you Cael Gallery (DaBugBoi) for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills and elsewhere Male are ~11 to ~15mm long. Surprisingly we found 2 females (perhaps juvi male?) that were ~9mm & ~17mm long. This seems a large size difference so possibly juvi or different species.
