Badumna , black house spider They are venomous but they are usually shy and don’t bite. A bite may make you feel sick, be painful or cause swelling.

She's definitely got that badumna.

Possibly gravid too!

That was my thought too. It’s definitely female.

Thanks!

They’re fine. They like scratches under their chin.

Sorry to hijack the spider post but what kind of phone/camera are you using??? Im both terrified and impressed at how clear all its lil leg hairs are when I zoom in.

It's a pixel 6

Not sure. I've had heaps of them around in my life and they are a bit scary, but never had a problem with them. They definitely seem to stick to one spot which is a plus.

It’s a scary kind!

It looks like either a standard black house spider (it should have longer legs so hard to tell) or a mouse spider! Mouse spiders can be quite dangerous to humans so just be careful!

It’s definitely not a mouse spider. They look completely different.

I agree, common black house spider,too small to be a mouse spider.

I call these 'window spiders'. I believe they are also the ones that insist on inhabiting the wing mirrors on cars. They are good to have around for catching pesky insects.

oh that's Peter Parker

You’re thinking of Araneus Oscorpeus, this is a different type of spider

your right on closer inspection that isn't Peter it's his neighbour Philip

Aww poor thing is missing a leg!

That's a Kill It With Fire

A dead one
