There was a spider on the other side of our back door earlier, I was watching it from inside. It wasn't big, but it was large enough to easily see (1-2 cm across?) and it had orange legs (I think it's body was like grey or black or something... not entirely sure now). I know that's not a very good description, but... anyone have any idea what kind of spider it is?
Whatever it is, don't let it bite you. You'll get cancer.
Well I try not to let ANY spider bite me. The back door was open a fraction to let air circulate and it was INSIDE. Then it scrambled around the door to the outside and sat there for a while and I slammed the door shut. Not letting that fucker bite me.

[QUOTE=Jorori;26259118][url]http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Spiders_of_Australia[/url] Is your spider here, OP?[/QUOTE] Oddly enough: no. I guess the one it most closely resembles (in colouration) is the Orb Weaver, but... I know an Orb Weaver if I see one and it was NOT an Orb Weaver.
It can be this one, then? [img]http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5891/storenamaculataf1623.jpg[/img] Storena maculata
Umm... quite possible. Not the best of pictures but, yeah, that actually might be it. I'm looking through [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Australian_spiders][b]this[/b][/url] list now. If I see anything that strikes me as being it I'll let you know. (I'm thinking maybe it was a [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Whitetailbig.jpg][b]white tail[/b][/url], but I don't recall the abdomen as being that long.) [editline]24th November 2010[/editline] Actually, yeah, I'm pretty certain it was the Storena Maculata. Thanks for that :)
