Overview
There are many web pages on spiders out there, although very little specifically on New Zealand spiders. However, anyone who wants to post or view pictures of these amazing animals should visit iNaturalistNZ, while for those interested in spider taxonomy The World Spider Catalog is essential.
You may notice that a number of the species covered on Te Papa's website are Australian species that have become established in New Zealand. If you would like to know more about these spiders in the context of their native Australia, here are some links to Australian spider websites:
