Soldat_01 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 There is more pics. on the first one we can see it’s playing death. The huntsman does this ? on the other one we can see it’s hairy and little bit grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newjez Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 They can bite if provoked, so I would be careful with it. They are also quite fast. Doesn't look like a funnel web, which is the one to watch out for. But I would treat all spiders with respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one (called Harry) that lived in the corner of a room at ceiling height, and would move from room to room. Harmless and best left alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldat_01 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 Finally I let that spider free. I told her to kill mosquitoes for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
