Looks like a raft spider, they live in boggy damp places, also our biggest spider species
Raft spider, usually found in damp habitats (I.e. bogs).
If you’re seeing one in your house, you should probably have your insulation fixed! 😀
Why tf did I open that picture. Alcoholism intensifies
Just did a quick Google of raft spider and found out there is a larger variant called the great raft spíder, which looks more like the spider in the photo.
However Wikipedia claims great raft spiders aren’t found here.
Can we get a fucking flair for spider pictures?
It’s called the Common Arse-shredder. They are completely harmless. You’re wearing titanium jocks, right?
“She jabs him with her stinger and they
go as limp as a boned fish. Then she has
her way with them. That’s how she likes
to feed – fresh blood…”
A hell no
Raft spider! They’re actually really cool they get their names from the fact that they kinda float across water (that’s why they look so thick, they use their body’s as a raft!) they’re totally harmless to humans, I’m not even sure if they CAN bite us! But they’re great for the ecosystem so please don’t kill them
As long as you’re not an insect you don’t need to worry 🙂

Raft spider i believe, can get pretty big, usually found near bogs as others have said although I have seen posts of people finding them in other areas. Be careful if handling as they can give a very ouchie bite.
Banana for scale please..
Why OP? Why? 😭😭😭
Umm are you sure you are on the right subreddit try r/australia
Isn’t that the baddie from Stranger Things ?
Lynx and a lighter won’t take that one out. You’re gonna need a propane tank and some fire arrows.
Horrific, thanks
r/spiderbro is a good place for these posts
Fairly rare to see you’re quite lucky/unlucky
I must be mad, I don’t usually like spiders but this one is kinda cute.
She’s beautiful. Please don’t kill it.
Be sure to look behind you, they hunt in pairs!
Thats Terence. He now owns the house you live in.
Looks like “scream on top of your lungs and run away fast” type
Awww, cute!
I really regret clicking to see that image.
That thing broke out of the zoo!
Spiders are our buddies. They kill the manky flies and they do it with style. Fuck flies!

What part of the country do you live so I can calculate how far I am from that thing?
What you have here is a NOPE. It’s best to find a new place to live.
