Deinopis Subrufa MM
The females apparently have the largest eyes of any known spider. The retina in the eye is rebuilt every night because their extreme light sensitivity means that daylight destroys them
@RezonantVoid Maybe it is time for someone who has experience with spiders from Australia to write a guide/book. I think if you had the time.....I bet you could do it! :) I know I would love to buy a identification book/guide on Australian spiders.
 
@BCspiderman7 we have a good one by the Australian Museum I think, but as expected they focus mostly on modern spiders. Maybe I'll make a thread about the common genus of primitive spiders we have here, but I think writing a book is a bit beyond me :rofl:
