Can anyone help identify this spider? Found on a celing in Austria.

[shellmonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com]

Probably something that'll kill you.

[sndmn@lemmy.ca]

That's Geoff

[briantheebiscuiteer@lemmy.world]

Australia yes. Austria probably not.

[nickiam2@aussie.zone]

That's a huntsman. Not dangerous to you

[shellmonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com]

Maybe they got bit by it and had to type quick before the venom took hold so they missed some letters?

[megaultrachicken@lemmy.world]

Way to go, now the Spider Mafia is going to find him and break his legs for sure.

[reakduck@lemmy.ml]

Everything becomes crab

[ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml]

Can confirm.

[hiddenlayer555@lemmy.ml]

As long as it's not Australia you're probably safe

[Guest]

I am really not worried about my safety at all. Just curious.

[egrets@lemmy.world]

I don't know anything about insects, but maybe some sort of running crab spider, e.g. Philodromus cespitum?

[rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I’ve been calling him Jeff! My apologies to Geoff.

[professorozone@lemmy.world]

But if you were in Australia, you SHOULD be worried about your safety with something like that on your ceiling

[aussiemandeus@aussie.zone]

Nah here it would be a huntsman spider. Not dangerous at all

[professorozone@lemmy.world]

Are you sure? In Australia from what I've heard, I'm pretty sure it could bite through your skull and lay it's eggs in there.

[canadaplus@lemmy.sdf.org]

Apparently Australians feel the same about North Americans living around bears. Either way, you just learn to be cautious and mind your own business.

[flubo@feddit.org]

Maybe this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoropsis_spinimana?wprov=sfla1

(Nosferatuspinne in German)

[Guest]

I've never had a bear move into my house or take up residence in one of my boots.

[Guest]

It's a vampire spider?

Look, if he was dying, he wouldn't bother to type "aarrggh". He'd just say it!
