Melbourne trapdoor spider (Stanwellia grisea)

Victorian Trapdoor spider (Stanwellia grisea) A long-legged dark brown spider with large fangs spotted crawling around the back yard. Fine short hairs on the legs and abdomen gave it a silky look. The small abdomen and large palps suggest that it's a male.
In spite of the common name, these spiders do not build trapdoors. they wait by their burrows to ambush passing insects. Males are sometimes seen wandering around at night in search of a mate - happens in autumn or early winter. Bites can be deep and painful because of the size of the fangs but they are not known to cause medical problems. Australia,Fall,Geotagged,Melbourne trapdoor spider,Stanwellia grisea
