• Hi, I've found several spider holes in my katoomba back yard this year,I thinkthe count is over ten now. The burrows are perefectly round with no obvious trip lines, they have all been silk lined and very beautiful. I've started to notice much smaller burrows too. I've found most of them in the lawn though a few were in garden beds. I had assumed they were Funnel webs and have dug up and killed several (useing motor oil too). Having read your info on funnel webs and brown trapdoores i am worried I've been killing a harmless creature. I have two very young kids and don't want to take risks. Is it possible to accurately identify the spider by it's burrow and do youknow of any services that can do this for me. Thanks for the info Sophie
