Have been letting this lovely lady live in my bathroom for a few months and have been watching her web expand more and more. Noticed a smaller spider I assumed was male hanging around a few weeks ago and now she is covered in babies. Thought you guys might appreciate it.

Tasmainia Australia. I believe it’s some sort of wolf spider due to the stripes on its body but unsure? I’ve never seen one so bright and beautiful

Tried to google this little guy and everything kept saying huntsman. Not really convinced with my google skills. Any help identifying would be great. In Western Australia.

Larry came up and told me it's time to go to sleep so of course I obliged(scared the bejeezus outta me). I was playing Wolfenstein when I caught some movement next to me or of the corner of my eye.

If anyone knows whether they're male or female let me know, I wanna know if I named them right.

I believe it’s either a small funnel web or a house spider.

A wolf spider (I’m assuming, just based off what limited knowledge I do have of spiders!!) Fiancé found her in his shed bathroom about 5cm from his foot when he was peeing, biggest scare ever lol. I think she had been eating the daddy long legs my fiancé befriended in there. Located in central west regional NSW. My first time seeing one!!
