Came across a bunch of these guys all hangin out together on a hike in Australia.

Does anyone have any clue what they are? I thought maybe spiny orb weavers but they dont match perfectly.

    Google Lens says Jewel Spider / Christmas Spider

    Looks right, lives in Australia, and only one of its genus.

    They are facultatively gregarious, and can be found in large aggregations of overlapping orb webs.

    Sounds like what you got there!
