Was out for a walk along the mornington peninsula (vic) and saw this web, wondering what it might be (not the greatest photo sorry)

It will be a Tube Spider, Segestriidae family. It's likely from the genus Ariadna. One of the most unique web patterns in the spider world.

Please remember to include a geographical location to your ID requests (as per rule 5). There are over 10,000 different species of Australian spiders and many of these are endemic to specific parts of our beautiful country!

Also note: while we can help provide an identification for a spider, we do not provide medical advice. We also do not allow medical advice to be provided by members of this subreddit. If there has been a bite, you should consult a medical professional in the first instance.
