In the cheesery I opened a little-used folder. Attached vertically to the inside cover was this nest full of eggs. No large spiders have been seen in the room. The eggs hatched 8 days later.

Looks like a reed-mimic. First few photos were staged with a branch I found nearby and stuck into the sand. The last photo is a "as found".

Obsereved hunting behaviour:
Spider waited on branch with entire web built below the branch. Prey flew into the web, where the spider proceeded to gather up majority of its web. Spider returned to original position to feed on prey.

I have monitored several dozen individuals of this species (and their breeding activities) since 2009. This particular individual was first spotted on 11 April 2019 with a new egg case; by 11 May 2019 a second egg case had been added. During a visit on 15 June 2019, the spiderlings from the first egg case had hatched, had moulted in the web next to the egg case and had dispersed. No subsequent visits were made to check on the fate of the second egg case.
Photos: spider looking gravid on 2 May 2019, egg cases on 11 May 2019 and first encounter (shortly after depositing first egg case?) on 11 April 2019.

Peeping out from it's home. Soon the branch will give way, but I have planted another next toit which they will hopefully use.

I can't make out whether this is murder most foul or a loving embrace. One Myrmarachne was moving up the wall, the other coming down. I dashed inside to get my camera and found them like this. When I went back later there was only one of them and I couldn't see any sign of the other one.
