Spider ID

Each state museum will have an entomology dept, send it to the perth museum.

They often get very excited with unusual requests/finds.

Looks very much like a widow species such as redbacks, but in saying that I have no idea. Interesting spidey nonetheless.

Very much widow shape but built like a widow on steroids. Aggressive like a funnel web the way it rears up when you approach it.

Mind you...these things creep me out more than the spiders do....

Mate those things really really hurt!
About 10 x worse than a bull ant or wasp!

I was digging an old bottle dump in Queersland many years ago when l felt something under my pants crawling up my leg.
My dacks have never hit the ground any quicker than they did that day, and it was a bloody huge centipede about 10 to 12 long.

In the bush (Manly Dam Reserve) just up the road from my old place there were centipedes that were at least 1 foot long, big greeny black things with yellow legs, they always used to creep me out. You wouldn't see them ofter but occasionally if you lifted up a big rock they would be underneath.

Documentation says they can get over 20cm long, though I've seen them at least 30cm long. Would not like to be bitten by one.

This has been identified by our spider specialist, anativeant-eating spiderfrom theZodariidaefamily. That are common in arid areas and very diverse in Australia, there is an estimated 450 species in 35 genera.Definitely left best in the environment continue to do its spidery little thingJ
