Orb-weaving Spider
Orb-weaving (web-weaving) spiders are all non-poisonous to humans and they are not aggressive. It is a very common species of spider with many variants in size, shape and colour across the Coastal regions of the Eastern states of Australia. They have very large abdomens when well-fed, and their colour ranges from off-white through tan, brown to almost black. The female is larger than the male, having a body length of 20 – 25 mm compared with 15 – 17 mm for the males. During the day the spider will often rest somewhere near their web, usually under a leaf or twig or in a crevice in bark or rock. 
Redback Spiders
The female redback spider is extremely poisonous. It has a black velvety body with a red stripe on the upper surface of the abdomen. The female redback spider can be up to 12 mm in length and the male is very small, about 3 mm in length, and it is harmless. Redback spiders make loose, untidy webs among leaves, rubbish, under houses, in tins, tyres, stacked articles, and in outside toilets. 
White-tailed Spider
White-tailed spiders are poisonous, and they are black with a white patch at the end of the abdomen. Their bites can cause pain and have been associated with blistering and necrosis (dead skin cells). The male is about 12 mm and the female can be up to 20mm in length. They are found under bark and logs in the bush. When it lives in houses, it searches for its prey in the early evening and shelters during the day in bathrooms, on the tops of walls, and in furniture.
