Warning: Not for the Squeamish

[jriepe]

This funnel web spider had a web behind one of my downspouts and he/she was staying behind the downspout where I couldn't get a good shot. So I threw an ant onto the web and he/she came running out and reared up before encountering the ant. Guess he/she wanted to weigh the situation and not be too hasty to rush in.

Great shot. Judging by the pedipalps it looks like a female.

Thanks and I was thinking the same thing about it being female.
