Dinopis is the genus name for the more commonly named Gladiator Spider Ogre faced spider or Net casting spider. It is found in eastern Australian forests. It has a relatively long and thin abdomen for a spider with a small cephalothorax (the fused head and thorax of a spider.) It possesses an unorthodox and remarkable hunting technique. First the spider creates a frame between branches of a bush using a dry silk.
