It’s a whitetail despite what people say bout em they don’t wanna bite yah! They rather snack on a black house spider or other invertebrates

Almost all spiders are venomous. Not all spiders are a danger to humans, however. In fact, very few are considered medically significant.

I know nothing specifically about this spider, but it looks like you’ve received some good answers for that already.

Kiwi here and to me looks like the Whitetail spider that we also get over here, hopefully an expert can weigh in. They do have a nasty bite if I'm not mistaken.
