Black Tunnelweb Spider

Porrhothele antipodiana

Notes:

Dyl found this in his wardrobe. Peter Jackson used Tunnelwebs as an inspirational touchstone when envisioning Shelob from LOTR Return Of The King. After these pictures were taken the spider was let go in the garden.

Dyl took these pics on his Fuji Finepix HS 20 EXR.
