What type of spider is this?

[innsaneink]

Anyone got any idea what type of spider this is....was hiding in my laundry basket with folded clothes, it had laid eggs by the looks of it, was a bit bigger than a 20c piece

Orb weaver would be my bet.

Has the marking of a wolf but the body is wrong

Dude....spiders are cool, they eat the annoying ones.

Insect apex.

Respect.

Humans are such killers.

Me included, but I have respect for apex, keeps the rest in balance.

Get a lizard. They'll eat the spiders all up!

Is it true you have to look in your shoes before putting them on?

how would you get your foot in if you didn't look ?

You could feel them. Do you have to check inside your shoes for spiders before putting them on?

Depends on where you leave your shoes, I guess. If I left mine outside, I'd be checking. But in the bedroom, nah, never looked.

Ok, thanks for replying. What if your shoes were in the lounge and you door had been open?

not sure what you're seeing on TV or social media but when we open the door there are generally no spiders, snakes or crocodiles in sight

Plenty of drop bears around my place though.

Nah, I find if spiders make their way inside my house, which is rare these days, they tend to crawl up the wall and start making a home in the corner. They only tend to get comfy inside a shoe if it's been outside for a while.
I'm not sure how common they are outside of Australia, but we have flyscreen doors and windows. They tend to keep most of the flying, biting, annoying things out of the house.

Depends where you live. If you have an apartment in the CBD, you probably don’t need to. I lived in South Maroota for a little while, and we’d get things like Centipedes getting under the front door lol..

I don't know about over east, but maybe 7 or 8 years ago over here in WA we had a sudden influx of Portuguese millipedes. Those little bastards were everywhere. They were definitely getting in under doors.

Don't listen to these soft handed city toffs. I checked my runners before cricket this morning and found this. I went and bought new runners

They're real. I've seen one.
