Whistling or Barking Spider

Selenocosmia stirlingi

Notes:

Found in pit traps at Mount Gibson Wildlife sanctuary. Nobody else wanted to get it out of the pit so I grabbed it. :) Pretty sure it's a Stirlingi, could be wrong though!

I wouldn't want to pick it out of the trap either... but at least you had gloves!
