Spider for scale.
Don't worry: that's only instar #3. It'll grow up soon enough. . .
And what the heck is that. Biggest spider we have is a Tarantula and they won't hurt you.
No clue, it’s just an image search result for “Australian spider”. Not even big Australian spider, just Australian spider.
Google knows what’s up.
Hmm, Bregama Aurea (Golden Huntsman) Not befriended one of those yet. Have had a normal Huntsman drop down to face height as I opened the door.
Large huntsman. Male. Cute, and easy to handle.

I’m starting to realize that the only people who could have made Australia home were the ones the British shipped off for being too ruthless…
Ps (and the ones who spent thousands of years developing survival techniques)
Nope, Nope and Nopety Nope.
And useful, too. They keep insects out of your house.
They would keep ME out of your house too!
Nor will this one. Nice to have a few around though, come Halloween, or if you have a cockroach problem.
Nope!
That's some tough web. Now that the spider killed it. What's it going to do with it? Eat it? Lay eggs in it? If that spider is so dangerous why didn't those guys kill the spider and save the snake? I would have saved the snake.

well they probably figured that they could make some money out of it.
Went into a rarely opened equipment room at work and found a mummified baby (?) Sidewinder in a Black Widow web. She was there, got "dispatched" but we never figured out the story.
Harmless juvenile green tree snake. Inquisitive little critters.
Not my pic.

That's what the head science teacher told my wife when she took very dead one, from our flat, to school to find out what type of man eating spider it was. Her response was "not in my house".
P.S. The science teacher chewed her out for killing the spider. It was made into a paperweight by another teacher and she had it on her desk while she taught there.

Sorry to go back a ways, but don’t forget it’s not just the animals trying to kill you. Some of the plants will as well.That was mostly a joke I’d love to visit I’ll just have to look up how each animal will try and kill me
I just found out a friend of mine and his wife are in New Zealand. I told him to watch out for snakes and spiders.
NZ is a lovely corner of the world. Had quite a few trips there.

I guess I’ll poke everything with a meter stick before getting close.
. . .and cone snails, DuBois' sea snake, blue-ringed octopi, bluebottle jellyfish (blue seems to be an issue for New Zealand & Australia, no?).
Oh, and have a nice trip!
I didn't want to go into much detail and scare them. I'll wait to do that when I see him the end of June.. . .and cone snails, DuBois' sea snake, blue-ringed octopi, bluebottle jellyfish (blue seems to be an issue for New Zealand & Australia, no?).

Not deadly, just not my idea of camping...
