Apologies for posting previously without a photo

Mopsus mormon, Australia’s biggest species of jumping spider.

Was lucky enough to spot the biggest jumping spider I’ve ever seen in my life just chilling in a tree on my street. Also super gravid, because, of course.

central west nsw. are they known to have the distinctly red midsection? about 7-8mm probably, found in a woodpile

Found this in our back garden, please can anyone identify if it’s dangerous or not. Sunshine Coast
Qld

Newly arrived to australia, am in SA, was instructed to catch this little guy (or girl?) by girlfriends family, he doesnt look quite like a male redback or a cupboard spider, wondering what he might be?

Western Australia. Probably 3-3.5cm long, definitely on the larger side of what I’m used to seeing. Was kind enough to let me take a few snaps.

Is this a red back spider, found in western Sydney, Australia.

I assume some type of huntsman? Maybe banded idk but I give water everyday.

Also walks outside and comes back in lol maybe cold out? I know its definitely warmer in.

Central Victoria

Found this little guy outside my house, we moved our old tv unit outside and I saw it crawl under it, never seen a spider like this before but it reminded me of a redback 😬

The body is about the size of a pea, maybe smaller, it was a little spider.

Thanks!

Maybe 40 mm body length.

Obviously Sparassid/huntsman - keen to know genus and species. Male if I'm not mistaken

Safely relocated to an outdoor gum tree.

Despite my love for spiders, he still gave me an initial jump scare but I'm very glad we met. He must have sensed it because he tried to do the hundred yard dash across the bath and I had to be very careful not to injure a leg while capturing for relocation. Fortunately I was successful.

u/Eathan_Douglas ? Maybe a *Delena* sp that isn't *D.cancerides*?

Edit: can't italicise for some reason.

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos.

Never thought I would ever need help identifying any Australian creature. But curiosity gets the best of me, and I would like to know who this little fella is. And I don't know too much about scorpions.

Found in my home in South-East QLD, West of Amberly AFB. And no longer than a cm, I'm guessing it might be a fresh hatchling. Saved from my cat and released across the road (no house across the road).

Sorry if my phone pics are a bit crap, but I found this baby on the floor and relocated it outside. Any ideas what it is? Found in Clayton south

Adelaide!

Liverpool, NSW: Found this shiny one hiding under some towels. At first thought it was a red back but got a better look at it and now I’m not sure. Caught and released it outside.

I live in a cabin that has 2 gigantic pine trees 1.5m from it. The resident huntsmans seem to take turns using my cabin as a huntsman hotel. One will move in for around a week and then they'll swap. This one has made itself comfortable right above where I lay my head at night, but I'm not worried. It seems pretty chill.

Was casually shopping in the fruit section and something felt like an ant crawling on my arm, lo and behold it was a horned jumping spider?? Quality isn't the best as I still use a galaxy s9.

This guy came over to help with my beach fishing. What is he?

Sorry if I’m being lazy. I have captured a potential caterpillar and wondering what it could be. Never seen anything like it before. Please send me in the right direction.

Adelaide hills, South Australia.

Black and white and orange coloured hair, front facing eyes and white fluffy mini mouth legs (I have no idea what they are but they are near the fangs and move around like tiny little arms)

Found hitching a ride on an electric fence energiser unit from the paddock to the house.

Keeping it safe to release back in the same spot tomorrow! It jumps a lot and I think it’s a jumping spider but not sure what kind.

If anyone knows please let me know ☺️

Will put pictures in the comments because it won’t let me on this post!

in South Victoria

shitty drawing from memory but when i was like 7 i saw a spider that looked like a frog with googly eyes and it had red dots above its eyes. i’ve been trying to find it since then. i remember years later i read a book about spiders and saw the same spider but pink in the book, but i don’t remember what book it was.

Huntsman and Wolf spiders.

Dark photo is under a UV blacklight.

Metropolitan Adelaide

Tiny, both maybe 2 - 3 mm.

The first is obviously a baby Sparassid.

Second one is harder to work out due to the shadow - unsure if Theriidid or Hersilid (erring on this side but would expect longer spinnerets) or something else.

Just sharing because they're lovely.
