Cyrtophora hirta is a species of #tentSpider found in the #Australia. The southern range of distribution is near #Sydney, though there are #NewGuinea and #Tasmanian records on the Atlas of Living Australia. #LudwigKoch described the species in 1872 from specimens from #BowenQueensland. The body length of the female is 10 mm, the male 5 mm. Food is small insects. Many spiders and their tent shaped webs may be found in close proximity. The spider retreats into a white mass of web in the centre.
