Menacing beauty.

I have to share my home with this creature and more, it is just too beautiful to do it harm.

C&C welcome. Have I nailed that focus yet?

I hope you don't have any nightmares on my account Warren.

Hey does anyone know what kind of Wolf spider this is? I've not seen one like this before.

I'm pretty sure it's a Huntsman Baz, they come in a lot of different colours and bandings depending on their environment.

The ones out my way are grey and have black bands.

Nice pictures as well

Cheers

Thanks Ric! Yep, it;s a "badge" Huntsman. Now I have to tease a Wolf spider out of one of the holes in the lawn to get a shot for comparison!

Here's a good link for Huntsmans http://australianmuseum.net.au/Huntsman-Spiders
