Caught some spiders while in Papua New Guinea

[Jmugleston]

Thought I'd share these here. These were found on a recent trip to Papua New Guinea:
Had a layover in Fiji and snapped a pic of this one:

These are all from the East New Britain or New Ireland Provinces in Papua New Guinea:

Love those Nephilas.

Is the one near the glasses a Pisauridae?

 

[Jmugleston]

To be honest I don't know what type it was yet. I haven't looked it up yet.

I was pretty sure that the one near the glasses was sparassidae :?

Wow those are awesome shots, thanks for sharing!

I especially like the angle of the third pic, with those long legs sticking up and the little orange markings under the joints. That's a wicked cool spider.

me and my brother used to have a yellow spider like that spotted one living in the corner of our room...we would catch bugs and get them stuck in its web and it was our little pet
