Hi,
It's just hit the middle of summer in NZ and I've been finding a lot of these spider like insects in the house and garden.
The body looks like that of an ant but it has 8 legs and has a leg span of around an inch and half.
I found one in a plastic container when cleaning out a shelf and it was stuck and couldn't climb out so I managed to get a few photos.
Was hoping someone may have ideas as to what it is.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Looks like a Lampona sp. -

I found a website with the answer.
It's a white tail spider.
Thanks.
