Phonognatha graeffei, referred to as the leaf curling spider - a common spider in my garden, but this morning it/they produced some interesting 'sculptures' up the side pathway, with the sun shining through a watery web. The spider is distinguished by having a curled leaf at the centre of its web, in which it shelters. The species form pairs living together in the same leaf, though at opposite ends of their shelter. The female creates a separate curled leaf "nursery" hung in foliage nearby.

I found the females nursery too - pic3!

Cool. I guess you're not trimming that bush for awhile?

Yes, spiders make some interesting webs. I've got a few around my house too.
