What does your day look like?

[Dales Cannon]

We may end up installing another small privacy screen on this wall but in the meantime I got sick of staring at the unfinished nature of the brickwork so had my roofing supplier knock up some cappings:

Plus also had some flashing made up so I could construct an exact-fit planter box:

Shitty old pots still there until soil is begotten...

Ah, the slide launching point!

sure looks like Sydney Funnel-web – Atrax robustus (male) from spidentify's page https://identify-spiders.com/spider-families/australian-funnel-webs/

 

[Chriso_29er]

Yep looks nasty @Plankosaurus, where was that?
I had a run in with a close relative of the Sydney Funnel-web up in the high country. Didn't feel like sleeping in a swag that night haha

Reckon that’s just a mouse spider.

 

[droenn]

@tobbogonist 's spider is definitely a red-headed mouse spider - Missulena occatoria
@Plankosaurus not sure, what it is, but maybe a Vic funnel web (its pretty skinny though)?

Yep google had me at red headed mouse spider, yet another thing on my list of reasons not to be a mouse.

Under a house in Belgrave (mt Dandenong area for those not local)

Probably not a Sydney funnel web this far south, but almost definitely from that family. It's a hard pass whatever it is, plenty of nope
