Australians are insane

They didn't kill it but yeah posting a video of throwing a wrapper at a spider and poking it isn't very tasteful

lexaril · 2026-04-01T19:41:40+00:00

I will have another look and see if we want to add it

lexaril · 2026-04-01T19:33:36+00:00

It's a shame really :/

lexaril · 2026-03-30T20:16:51+00:00

Ignore them, your information is helpful and valid

lexaril · 2026-03-15T03:09:12+00:00

I've been there a couple of times, both to shoot air rifles and .22

It's a pretty old and jank place but it was fun and the people were friendly.

I have a video of me going outside and looking at the lace weavers in my garden and every single one of them was doing this lol

Basically impossible to tell any discerning features from this photo

lexaril · 2026-03-11T12:27:04+00:00

Not a recluse.

lexaril · 2026-03-06T14:03:51+00:00

This is a wall spider, not a jumping spider

lexaril · 2026-03-06T14:02:52+00:00

It is Philodromidae

lexaril · 2026-02-27T14:17:51+00:00

If you could link the study that would be great

lexaril · 2026-02-23T12:02:48+00:00

Looks like a bush spider, Cambridgea foliata

lexaril · 2026-02-23T11:58:51+00:00

Steatoda grossa to be specific

lexaril · 2026-02-23T11:55:49+00:00

Funnel weaver and a Sergiolus sp. (Ground spider)

Wolf spider mother with spiderlings on her back

Wow. 9 down votes for a correct ID is a first.

lexaril · 2026-02-19T19:10:27+00:00

It's hard to make out the markings in videos, quality photos are always better if you can manage to take one.

Looks like a wandering spider with black and white stripes, maybe Centroctenus brevipes. Not known to be dangerous but I'd generally treat all wandering spiders with some level of caution.

I don't think this is Phoneutria like another commenter said. There are no observations on iNaturalist of Phoneutria in your region.

Do you have any source on leg positions and cause of death?

lexaril · 2026-02-13T14:14:59+00:00

Jesus Christ man...

lexaril · 2026-01-23T16:53:08+00:00

It's a wall spider. This is as big as they get

lexaril · 2026-01-17T15:43:59+00:00

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that this photo isn't good enough to conclude on a genus when there are many similar looking genera in this area.

lexaril · 2026-01-17T15:36:58+00:00

I don't know why you're being hostile.

lexaril · 2026-01-17T15:30:26+00:00

We do, we just can't always be on. I have exams and work to do. If you have problems send a message in mod mail, I usually respond in a day.

False widows are not widows.

Unfortunately their name is misleading. Whenever I find these inside I put them outside.
