To identify the spider, it would help to know more about its size, color, markings, and any distinctive features. In Australia, some of the most common spiders include the White Tail Spider, the Redback Spider, and the Funnel-Web Spider. Most spiders are not aggressive and prefer to avoid human interaction. However, a few species can be dangerous.

If you are referring to the spider in a lighthearted manner by calling it “my friend,” it’s important to remember that while many spiders help control insect populations, they are best appreciated from a safe distance. Unless you are a spider expert or have done appropriate research, it’s always safest to admire them without attempting to handle them, as some can bite if provoked.
