Extremely fast, this spider's front 4 legs are bright orange whilst the rest of its legs and body are black with white stripes. It measures around 10-12 mm across the leg span.

One of these just ran over me! Dunedin, New Zealand.
(sorry for random acc name)
found one of these in my house (not near bushland), i was curious was this spider was, it ran along a mates arm. not sure if he was bitten or not. can anyone tell me things to look for?
He sat still just long enough! He's very small - I've never allowed one close enough to bite me, but from what I've read online they can give a moderately-painful bite leaving redness and swelling but nothing serious.
Great that you could get a shot of him! He LOOKS pretty venomous... Is he??
wow..
Cool.
