Find-a-spider guide
Just found an incredible web site for identifying Australian spiders, particularly those found in South East Queensland. Each species has its own page, with great photos of each sex, the web and egg sacs. Check out:
- the Toowoomba Funnel Web,
- the Tree-Dwelling Funnel Web,
- find a species by its common name, and
- the very sensible information about what to do if you’re in a funnel web spider area, or.
- coolest of all, there’s a page of photos of the more common spiders as a starting point for identifying that creature that just bit you.
These are some of the best spider photos of local spiders that you’ll ever find. Note though, that across the site, a number of the photo links either don’t work or point to the wrong picture.
