Approximately 30 cm off of the ground. The web was spun in between two thatches of the dormant brush in partial/full sunlight. Legs spanned to about the size of a silver dollar while the body was about the length of a dime. Orange coloration was slightly asymmetrical yet stark against the rest of its body. The activity was normal for that of an orb weaver.
