So here are some of my pics of wild and captive spiders.

its a white tail spider or white tipped spider Lampona murina .
there a couple of different species that are common in victoria and im pretty sure this one is L.murina,
actually there are 23 sub species in australa but only these two really make appearances in our homes and have the reputation for necrotic bites..overrated to i think

Cracks in the pitch- Good to see another person in the mouse spider fan club. I used to keep occatoria. Had some beautiful females. My favorite spider in the world and as far as I know missulena is an endemic species, true blue Aussie perfection

here are a couple of locals from my house in Tweed a few years ago. The huntsman used to pop up everywhere, he was the size of a butter plate. When he died I found him on my computer chair, needless to say, scared the crap out of me!

The golden orb kept the mozzies and ants at bay and had a nice nest of babies hatch.
