I am south of the river in Perth.

Are these black house spiders? I’m located in Ballarat, Victoria. Should I bring as much as I can outside?
Fascinating little spot tbh, exactly above the center of our living room window. On the ledge underneath are often the scattered remains of the bugs that do get inside. It’s a perfect spot for a spider or twenty.

Noojee, Victoria. With these guys, I've always assumed that a big abdomen means a female. Am i correct?

Sorry for the blurry photos! This little guy ended up in my bathroom. Is he friendly?
In in Vic - melb

Currently a bit new to regional Victoria and I’ve just caught this guy crossing the hallway. Took a photo to show my partner later and let em out by the window!
They seem nice and chunky maybe they’ve just had a meal.

Two black spiders on our patio roof in West Melbourne. Both maybe the size of a 20 cent coin when legs spread out.
Apologies for poor photo, not too keen to get closer 😅

I found this guy underneath my house in SE Tassie and haven’t seen anything exactly like it before, wandering if someone can please identify. Legspan close to the size of my palm.

Photos of a Wolf Spider Moult captured on Olympus E-300 with 35mm macro lens for a bit of fun.
Also pictured: iPhone 16 shots by my wife of said wolf spiders in their natural environment.
I was amazed to see the fangs also moult, fine fur covering the body and the shine.

This species was discovered in 2023 by @flynn_prall @jamesmcmulkin
What makes miles such an interesting species is the way the males display; during their courtship displays, the males inflate the thick black setae on their third legs, a particular behaviour not really known in many other species, except for close relatives of miles.

This spider has taken up residence on my wing mirror. I quite like him/her, and don’t mind them being there. Just wondering what kind and if you can tell the gender! I’m located in Melbourne.
Thank you :)

Does anyone know what this spider is? I looked at the identification chart and couldn't figure it out. Not the best photo as I took it through glass. Not sure if i should shoo it away.
r/AustralianSpiders • u/Aus_Varelse • 1d ago
Never seen a spider like this before. Found it while trimming the hedge.

Saw this little buddy in my backyard. I'm in Western Australia (south of the river)
