Found the three eggs shells in small hollow in foliage on a bank above a bush access road. Photos 4&5 show the eggs in situ. Looks like a dead stick insect in the leaf litter as well. Eggs maybe predated? This area has regular pest control, baiting and trapping.

Not sure about the identification. Found in artificial Chatham Island Petrel burrow, associated with numerous weta. A large spider measuring c.90 mm in length. Rather reddish to my colour blind eyes. Such spiders are habitually called on this island Cambridgea annulata - so I place it here and await others conclusions. I did see sheet web spiders commonly on their webs the island at night and they sort of looked like this. This particular spider is reputed to have a painful bite.

Noticed on track as it was trying to defend itself from attack by a wasp. Amazed at how flexible it was when it curved the hind part of its abdomen around into a 'scorpion-like' posture to dislodge the wasp which was on its back.
Help with species ID would be appreciated please.
