original pic size is 4320x3240 these images are cropped & resized. taken by my basic point n' shoot cam with zero zooming ! Emma, hope you got your answer :)
thanks for the compliments Gerardo. I don't think this one is poisonous, Sydney funnel web is the famous poisonous funnel web spider!
In wikipedia, it is given that only Hippasa greenalliae is found in srilanka. So this one maybe Hippasa greenalliae only.
