Victorian Funnel Web Spider I think the photo tells it all.... not a very nice spider to find in the garden. I had never seen one here before and had to catch it and get photos to get it identified. Not as deadly as it's northern cousin but still make you sick.. Australia,Geotagged,Hadronyche modesta,macro,spider Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro

    1. Thanks everyone for the comments....
      Her actual body length was about 4cm and obviously looks a lot bigger with those long legs. ;)
