I've only ever known those black spiders as "black house spiders"- have a look here:
http://www.spiders.com.au
I think they're the same spiders that sneak into the metal tubing of washing lines and live there happily until the temp gets to over 40 deg, at which point they struggle out and hide on the underside of the metal struts, gasping for some cooler air. Then they run all over the place when I try to hang up my washing. :mad:
I think that's it, although its name is a bit of a misnomer as they never ever come inside the house.. On the most extreme of hot summer days they have actually started dying and dropping of my patio when it's got too much for them.

That's so perfect. I wish all spiders did that.

They serve no purpose in this life.

Seriously? Surely they bite people?

Venom toxicity - the bite of Huntsman Spiders is of low risk (non toxic) to humans. They are a non-aggressive group of spiders. However, a large individual can give a painful bite. Beware in summer when the female Huntsman Spider is guarding her egg sacs or young.
