Field Notes

Description:

25mm small active spider of the Lycosidae

Habitat:

This spider entered the apartment and did a furious "wall of death" route along the wall and curtains behind the computer. It was making very long jumps of up to 300mm and its body language was aggressive

Notes:

These identifications (as most Australian Spider species) are in flux as the science moves forward to fill huge gaps in the past research. They may change and thus this will be incorrect
