This spider, which I have not found in Singapore, and only one specimen in Java, 
makes a perpendicular snare 3 inches in diameter, with a free segment, with a trap tine to 
nest in a twisted leaf, about i }^ inches long and bound together with silk. Spider seems 
to sit in nest with its baclc downwards, holding on by the threads of the roof.
