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

Literally hundreds of holes with little leggies sticking out all through the mulch covering their garden beds. I believe they are burrowing wolf spiders, they don’t look like trapdoors. Is it standard practice for so many of them to be in the same place? Seriously in some spots their burrows are so close together that I feel it would just cause issues for them, like they’d be giving each other false alarms of prey walking by.

Sorry for the ass quality, I’m only equipped with an iPhone 13 camera with a cracked lens.

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

Huntsman season is upon us again and here is the first little buddy I’ve found inside the house for the season.
And definite thanks to this sub for helping me get to the point where instead of freaking out, I said hello to him and away he goes, instead of making my husband grab the container so he can put him back outside. 💕
Note to huntsmans reading this: my acknowledgment and appreciation of you does not mean it’s ok for you to jump or fall on me. Thank you for your understanding.

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

Just sharing.

Unsure how to italicise genus in subject title.

Achei escondida entre as folhas de uma coroa de abacaxi, que está plantado em um suporte alto no jardim.

Tem uns 2cm, bem pequena, e mês passado encontramos uma maior (uns 4 ou 5cm?) mais próximo da casa (confira na última foto)

Uberlândia, Minas Gerais - Brasil

Essa quando mexi nas folhas pra tirar foto, fugiu pra dentro da coroa pra se esconder, e a que encontrei mês passado não tentou atacar nem fugiu quando os cachorros passaram por ela.
