The Wet Season in Tropical North Queensland

This is the currently overgrown path to our 'permaculture' backyard garden consisting of chillis, eggplants, sweet corn, pineapples and passionfruit and an assortment of tropical spinaches,chokos and sweet potatoes. Unfortunately the path to the garden has now been blocked by an eight legged interloper.
Look closely, can you see her?

Here's a video update of her today getting funky with a freshly caught cicada surrounded by an ever growing group of amorous males - possibly her next meal!

More about the The Golden Orb Spider from people who know more about them than me.
