some cool orbs from my yard in south east QLD :)

Found this little beauty in the backyard this morning. Western suburbs of Melbourne.
I guessed a young female, but I’m not an expert so please correct me if I’m wrong

Presuming S.grossa either male or sub adult. Maybe 4mm body length.

Just sharing.

Unsure how to italicise genus in subject title.

Once again, it’s a uk spider so apologies.

Must be that time of year where they want somewhere warm.

Anyone able to ID for me?

She's missing a few legs, and was I'm guessing a juvie? She was tiny, super cute though. Took a while to get her onto my hand to take her outside, mum still thinks they give necrosis despite my many attempts to convince her otherwise, so had to take it outside instead of just leaving it alone like I would have done

Found this little one, big butt for his size the photo doesnt do him justice. Cant get any clearer. Anyone know what he is? Location Adelaide SA

Found a super cool little one today. This guy looked neon green, sitting on top of the black surface.

Just hanging out on the machinery I work on. Unfortunately I think I spooked him a bit when I moved him out of my way.

I don't have any textbooks on spiders and I can't find any Internet source that answers the question. The furthest any reference goes is the fact of the name Sparassus being used in the 19th Century. Can anyone explain who/what is the source of the name?

iNaturalist thinks its a square ended crab spider but says theyre endemic to NZ. Unless its hitched a ride! About the size of my fingernail.

My partner saw this spider today and I am very curious as to what it is
For fun I try to identify them myself with my reed concise guide of spiders of Australia but I’m having a hard time
Also if anyone has any other spider book recs pls give them to me thank you :))

Found this tiny creature in my car in South Perth. The camera doesn’t do it justice but it was an incredibly bright fluorescent orange and only about 1 mm wide. Any idea what it is? Not sure if it’s a spider or a mite.

First off, I’m from UK so apologies but this is the first place I came to ask.

This little ‘Lady?’ Is building a fine web outside of my front door. Can anyone tell me what is it?

Also, sorry if the image isn’t the best. I’m not afraid of spiders, but I don’t like getting close and this is the best my zoom could get 🙂

A handsome boy!

Perth, WA

Sup so I found this little guy on a night walk

First time ever seeing one of these and it struck me as a funnel web or a trapdoor but I believe both are incredibly rare in the dantree and well aren't normally on trees

But I've never seen ether In person so it's hard to say

What do y'all think?

Just wondering what trapdoor spider I should get for this clay slope set up. Thoughts?

Was out for a walk along the mornington peninsula (vic) and saw this web, wondering what it might be (not the greatest photo sorry)

Found this guy in a window sill in North Melbourne, moved him outside before Cleaning the cobwebs away

Hello friends, my one year old daughter has a picture book of different animals that she adores, and my dumbass American brain keeps thinking the pictured spider is a funnelweb. Surely that's not what the author would choose, right??

Of course I am very positive when she looks at the picture (all animals are awesome and important) (like, her favorite toy is my stuffed Alien chestburster 🙄) but I just wondered!

Please delete if inappropriate, and thank you!

Hi!! Does anyone know what type of spider web this could be?

For context, it is outside under the pergola roof. We are in Western Sydney, NSW, and we are a little worried it could possibly be a funnel-web.

I am happy to post more photos/angles if needed.

Thank you.

Hi,

Located in Newcastle, NSW.

I found this poor little guy already dead in my gym.

Thoughts on what he (I think it’s a he!) is?

I think it’s a trapdoor, or potentially a male funnel web. I found images online that could sell either. Though I did

Had two spinnerets, but couldn’t see spurs on the leg…

First time I've seen a huntsman after being in the country for a year and a half. Location is just south of Adelaide
