Rainforest Funnel Web Spider

[edwardjelliffe]

Ive recently stumbled across a rainforest funnel web spider in cairns and am wondering if anyone has ANY info on this species. Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Probably Hadronyche anzses . Presumably highly toxic, as with other Hadronyche species. Be careful!

Thanks for the heads up! The interesting thing is it seems to have a bit more hair than other Hadronyche spp. that ive seen...maybe my id is wrong. I will post some photos so that you may make up your own mind. Thanks again

do you have a picture of the spider? Might aswell be a Dipluridae...
