We get them big at home too, but I reckon the golden orb weavers/tiger spiders/Trichonephila plumipes get a bit bigger up here in Brisbane.
Both of these are females, but in the first photo there is also a male above the female in her web. The males are much, much smaller.

A number of big golden orb weaver spiders too, mostly high up in the trees.

Small progress on this #drawing WIP. I'm still severely struggling against a bug, and my throat has started feeling sore.
I don't need tonsil-free tonsilitis again. Last time that happened, it caused breathing issues.
But at least I've made a little step forward with this.

#CW for spiders
So, in a prior post I talked about Claudia the bold jumper, that was also gravid and has had at least two clutches of eggs since we had been spoiling her with mealworms. She's in a more controlled diet, because that many grandbabies are difficult to handle. Plus she's fond of snacking on them.
Claudia is currently in a "retirement" enclosure with netting along all the sides and more accessible ledges as she doesn't have the best grip in old age.
Pictured are shells from a recent molt of one of the slings from Claudia clutch 1. Being able to have an intact helmet as they molt to i5 is delightful because look at how cool it is!
Also pictured is the spood before the molt, and then a different spood that we affectionately call "Little Miss can't pick a fucking name" because it was funny at the time. She hitchhiked on my person one day a month or so ago, and is currently habitating in Claudias previous enclosure.

#CW for #Spider #JumpingSpider and #Mealworm
Claudia has been brooding super hard for a while and she deserved a special treat. I was pleased with this video clip of her getting a mealworm.
Yes, she is indeed named after the character in Interview with the Vampire.

CW: Spiders, spiderlings, jumping spoods
#CW for #Spider and #Spiderlings
So Claudia is the Bold #JumpingSpider that we adopted from our mailbox a while ago https://lgbtqia.space/@h3mmy/114713279318659153
She'd been in her hammock for a couple of weeks and we figured she's probably molting. Well, she didn't molt. And now I guess I'm a grandparent? While I may be barren, my spoods are clearly not so. And now I know she's gravid so this won't be the last batch either.
Also, despite the looming silhouette vibe going in this picture, Claudia is rather timid. She's still got just the 7 legs and I hope she can regrow it some when she eventually molts.

#CW for pictures of a jumping spider eating an earwig.
#SpidersOfMastodon #JumpingSpider fans, I am trying to name this male dimorphic jumping spider. In case you don't want to look at the pictures, he's the kind with the black body, cute little mohawk and light brown legs. The #AltText is also worth a read.
What are your suggestions?

#DailySpiderPic: a sleek-coated Eastern parson spider (_Herpyllus ecclesiasticus_, in the ground spider family Gnaphosidae) on a big willow tree. These spiders are lightning-fast. I typically spot them while quickly waving my phone flashlight over tree trunks—then I know I have one more chance to get a photo, and need to hurriedly get everything into position before turning on the light. I usually only get one or two shots, then they're gone.

#DailySpiderPic: "Well, this is awkward…" An ant-mimic jumping spider (_Synageles_) crosses paths with a _Prenolepis imparis_ ant. Its disguise is meant to put off potential predators that won't mess with ants—but the ants themselves rely more on chemical cues and aren't fooled. I saw a couple of _Synageles_ on this planter and they both carefully avoided the ants.
