Hi Ali, I have just added the species to our list. I squashed one of these in the garden a couple of days ago, but didn't know they were unusual here. Looking at the Atlas of Living Australia, there have been no sightings until now in this area, so it is a potentially serious problem for us. Thanks for highlighting it. I have classified it as sentitive and a noxious pest. When the insect moderators get to this they may have other comments. Cheers, Libby

Certainly not good news at any place it invades - not for people and not for other insects and spiders.
