Moving some old garden furniture and came across several of these little beauties/horrors (delete as necessary)

We get them big at home too, but I reckon the golden orb weavers/tiger spiders/Trichonephila plumipes get a bit bigger up here in Brisbane.
Both of these are females, but in the first photo there is also a male above the female in her web. The males are much, much smaller.
Went down to the lake today and found several zebra jumping spiders (_Salticus scenicus_) feasting on the midges (_Chironomus_ sp.) that are beginning to emerge!
⚠️ WARNING: first pic in particular is alarmingly cute, prepare yourself

A number of big golden orb weaver spiders too, mostly high up in the trees.
