r/AustralianSpiders

Just found this guy under a big rock.

First time poster, long time lurker. Looking for an ID on this ?gal. Nice little furs on the front legs. No banana for scale and wasn’t planning on getting my hand much closer. Roughly 12 - 20cm.

I was/am in a restaurant in Mandurah when my brother in law found on his shoulder this guy. Any idea on what can it be? Is it dangerous?

This was inside my house in the blinds looks like an orb weaver with a designer pattern was about an inch big. Can someone help me ID it? South West Sydney, NSW.

Found this outback and web that it came from…

Edit: Melbourne Victoria

Found this little guy, 50mm across (legs tucked) couldnt get a shot of its face, it wanted to hide. SEQ - goldcoast.

Absolutely dog shit photo unfortunately, but my dad just sent me a photo of this little dude in our driveway. Does anyone have any idea what they are??? I've never seen a spider that looks like this before?

Almost picked her up while gardening. Sunshine coast

Jenny the Golden orb has been living next to my clothesline for a few months now, she mainly eats bees. Trespassers go to the biggest baddest bee-eating bitch as appreciation for her services.

If she enjoys this caterpillar I will find more.

Spotted a small Red and Black spider (Nicodamus peregrinus) running across the kitchen floor. Bend down to pick it up and put it outside so it doesn’t get squished and what does the little bugger do? Bite me!! Not once, not twice but three times! So hard was it jamming its fangs into me its entire body was lifting off my finger!

Am I going to be Spider-Man?

Has been living in my car door for several weeks but this time I was able to get a photo of said friend.

About the size of a 10 cent coin.

is this an orb weaver? i walked into a garden to have a p… water the garden. on my way out i walked through a web so strong it almost yanked my hat off my head.

this fella was just as surprised at what just happened. he was very understanding so I put him back on a leaf and we both went our seperate ways.

I couldn’t figure out how to send the video clip so a screenshot will have to do.

cheers team.

My friend in Maroubra (Sydney) wanted to know what this spider could be!

I love huntsman spiders and like having them around, but I can't tell the difference between male and female. Just curious. Wollongong NSW

Scared me at first but he/she still a cutie tho

The location is, well, my left foot.
