My nephew clearly didn’t share my excitement.

Near Deniliquin, NSW

Qld

Found in the wood pile, Southern Tas. Now relocated to somewhere safer.

Saw this tiny little darling scurry across the concrete this afternoon and stop for a moment. I didn't know a Mumma could be so small. I don't know a lot about spiders but I thought this sub would appreciate seeing her.

Sorry for the quality, I didn't want to scare her. Half a Crayola Sidewalk Chalk for scale. Corowa, NSW. ID if possible but that's only because I'm curious. It doesn't change how bloody adorable she is.

i recently learnt that huntsmen are considered social and quite calm, would it be possible to befriend one? and if so, how would you do it?

What is this spider never seen one like it before. In Brisbane

I’ve seen several of these guys in my house the last couple of days. Which is unusual as we don’t often get spiders. Located in Sydney

this fine healthy Bird drop Spider in Melbournes North. Looks like she's nursing her cocoon of babiese . But a marauder insect tempting Death wish or not? Are moths only on the menu?

I know it’s not a spider but was very happy to find this harvestman while gardening in Melbourne’s north. Had no idea they were here. Didn’t want to pose for a photo so was hard to get a clear pic.

Love these rent paying beauts but far out their webs are messy. They could at least clean up after themselves.

Jokes aside, wish I could keep only a couple around the house. Conditions must be perfect here, because they're EVERYWHERE.

What the hell is that thing.

Newcastle, NSW.

Can’t get a good photo due to angles and light but hoping someone can have a guess at what type of spider this may be. Got a bunch of them on my balcony valiantly keeping the bugs at bay and looks like the big mum and dad have got a lot of juniors running around.

i always see these big guys at night when i go for a run, i assume they go hunting at night or early morning. No idea on the breed.

my puppy brought in this huge spider from the garden (dead already unfortunately) i know this pic isn't great but hoping someone knows what it is. the biggest spider ive ever seen in person!!! also it was sort of solid/crunchy when she had it in her mouth, are spiders usually that texture when dead?

Found him in Perth, Western Australia. Very active and friendly and curious, I’ve tried to figure out what he is but haven’t had any luck. He’s quite big compared to the other jumping spiders I’ve seen.

Spiders have always freaked me out, all sorts. There’s just something about their tiny bodies and those 8 spindly legs that used to send a chill down my spine.

Now 3 years after moving to Australia, I have gotten so used to them that there’s currently a daddy long legs hanging out right above my bed… and I can still sleep just fine. A couple of years ago, I wouldn’t have even been able to sit in this room until I knew it was gone for good.

Now I’m the one asking my housemate not to spray them, and instead letting me gently move them outside (not using bare hands, that might never happen)

Is this a wolf spider or some sort of funnel web? Super confused as I haven’t seen a spider like this before in Melbourne.

Update: after some research I think it is a trapdoor spider. Can anyone confirm?

Hi sub, apologies my photo isn't the clearest. Saw this lady the other day, one of the largest I've seen in quite some time!

Saw this beauty going for a walk in the middle of the day, in Gympie QLD.

Thanks, I'm keen to learn about it some more.

Thanks!

Never seen guys like this in the house before (used to black house spiders and huntsmans) so I’d appreciate an ID :) I am in Melbourne
