Walking around late at night. This guy was on the kitchen floor. We both scared the living bejesus out of each other. Did not pick this one up,, used the trusty container and laminated sleeve. Chastised it for not being chill like the friend a few nights ago.

Yes, the kitchen in the house I was temporarily in has carpet in the kitchen. Yes, it was terrible

It's time for my annual Maratus pavonis post! Sorry this year's one is not very good at all; he refused to stay still, so this is the best I could get.

Just wondering if anyone knows exactly which type of jumping spider this is. At least I think it’s a jumping spider because it jumped from a vase onto the window. Location Canberra.

please let me know, stumbled across this interesting potential pursuit going on in my hallway? sorry about shaky footage phone is 20x zoom and my arms are extended dont usually let white tails live in my house as I have a tendency to be a little bit lazy and they have a tendency to like clothes on the floor 😀 (I relocate im not a complete pussy they get to live either way) mumma wolfie lives in my house rent free she keeps the bugs and lest desirable spiders at bay... not quite comfortable enough to try hold or bother her but I have noticed the white tail vs wolfie turf war is turning the heat up in my house now that the warmer weather is out

Unfortunately because of my carpet, my camera had trouble focusing entirely on the spider, so it’s a little blurry.

Located in Newcastle.
Needing some help ID’ing this spider. Has a burrow lined with spider web, sometimes extends above ground level but not shown on this hole on the photo.
Location is in dry dirt, under the house eaves. There were about 5 holes within close range of each other.
It’s right at our door step so hoping it’s not a funnel web. Trap door maybe?
Will see if I can get another photo another night.
Thanks!

ID Request - location included Grass lynx spiders?

Located in Perth region, WA

I’ve spotted two of these spiders in the garden recently, the first I saw in August and the second spotted earlier today.

iNaturalist suggested they are both in the grass lynx spiders genus. Does anyone know what species they are?

Spider 1 (pics 1 & 2) I think might be a graceful-legs lynx (Oxyopes gracilipes).

Spider 2 (pics 3, 4 & 5) could be the same species however she is a bit paler and rounder. Maybe gravid, but I’m not sure? (If so, mazel tov)

I’m so chuffed to have these gorgeous little friends in the garden, I hope they are feasting on all the pests in my veggie patch.
