Comments & ID Thoughts

In Kirribilli, Sydney, NSW. I suspected it was a funnel web, but I live on the 8th floor and thought they stayed close to the ground. It has 2 spinnerets on the back of the abdomen

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This looks like a White-tailed Spider (Lampona sp.), maybe L. cylindrata.
