What is this spider?

This critter popped out of a drawer in our new kitchen just out of Wanaka. My husband squealed. It's sitting on a 90mm wide t&g floorboard. We’ve never seen anything like it and would love to know what it is. Thanks, Bridget

Could you identify this? Sited in Blenheim. Thanks, Andrew

Spider vs fly on my driveway, Richard.

Initially when eating a wasp caught in its web intriguingly had a silver body and then turned to the dark brown/black spider. From Grant

Paul says this spider gave him a real fright and he's seen many others in his wood pile

Here is a wee spider for you, found in my house in Island Bay, Wgtn, and released into the garden - as we do with all but whitetails. - Robin.

I have lots of these around my home in Dunedin - Ian

Could you identify this? Sighted in Blenheim
