The Foliage webbing spider (Phryganoporus candidus) is a spider widespread but endemic in Australia. It is up to 10 mm long silvery grey to brown with a pattern of light and dark brown markings on the abdomen. Unlike most other spiders P. candidus lives socially at one stage: Spiderlings live together in a nest built on foliage until they reach the subadult stage. The males even stay into the adult stage and only then leave.
