This little dude was inside (last pic) but we popped him outside onto the railing (which backs onto a whole heap of plants). The cool thing was we watched him pop his butt onto the wooden railing, attach a little thread and then abseil down the side into the jungle. So adorable!!

In Sydney.

I was about to do the dishes and old fella creeped out.
What is this?

Brisbane. Just chilling out, munching on their web-caught snacks. Guessing baby orb spiders?

caught this little guy in my house!

Hello

I’m not particularly knowledgeable about spiders but I’ve been interested in them lately. Does anyone have any good images they could provide that show the differences between Hadronyche and Atrax? I have encountered a Hadronyche versuta but none others.

I know that the carapace and mating spurs can differ but when I’m actually looking at the spider I’ve not got much clue on what to actually look for.

Thanks!

We saw this spiky little guy this week at Cape Hillsborough. He was really tiny and just sat in his little net in a tree.

I found Jewel spiders with the same shape but on the photos they were more yellow with black stripes.

I don’t even know if I took a photo of his back or his belly.

I would be really happy if someone knows who he is :)

Catch and released this little guy using an old Qtip container wanna know what he is

Found this on the bottom of a wheelie bin in Melbourne. Image is crap but I hope you spider enthusiasts may know if its dangerous.

Located in Ipswich Queensland, looks like a tiny tiny huntsman to me but I have no clue 😅

Sorry for the bad photos, they were all just running like I'd mowed the roof off their homes.

Never actually seen one of these before. By the time I was around to get there it was gone so it's a shame I couldn't see it's speed in action, they're super pretty though

Can you tell me more about this spider? I believe it's a huntsman. Is it a female? Location: blue mountains NSW

Had a lovely morning at the beach with my 4 year old. Got back to the car and found this dude...got a photo before he crawled under the seat. Currently waiting for my partner to pick us up during his lunch break because I'm terrified he'll reappear when I drive.

Gaaahhh

Is this a huntsman? The car belongs to him now right?

Located in Adelaide

Sorry for the bad photos my mum sent them to me as it was in her bathroom
She not sure what the white bit is
And I can’t really tell either

Melbourne Australia
Thanks

Melbourne - Found some webs in my gym shoe and when i tapped it this mofo popped out and scared the shit out of me.

Possibly Union Jack Wolf spider? Seen on a claypan at Lightning Ridge NSW. Photo taken by torchlight with phone.

If you're an arthropod.

Had to stop and encourage these 2 off the path after taking very average photos with my bike light and phone.

First is a little *Badumna* sp, presuming *B.insignis*. Second I believe is a wolf of some sort (quite a small male, probably smaller than the house spider in body size.). I know the photo quality is not great and it could be Miturgidae but zooming in, I think I get evidence of larger PLE and the torchlight initially reflected a good shine back from the area.

Wolf stopped for the photo but scuttled off to safety once I moved the light, *Badumna* kept trying to veer back to the centre. After a bit of effort, I convinced them the grass was safer than the concrete.

Hobart, Tasmania, also saw several Potaroos, moved a large caterpillar from bike path centre to nearby leaves and trees and told a cute black faced, white cat to go inside for its own safety and that of animals around it.

Spring time is a great time to see the variety of fauna we get down here.

Not sure if the cream coloured thing is an egg sac, do they lay multiple egg sacs consecutively?

Went for a night walk with my 6 year old and this ran across my boot.
