This Woodlouse Killer Spider was in the shower. I caught it and relocated it outside. It bit me, which throbbed for 20-30 minutes, and left my thumb wet. It hurt more than expected.
Photos 1 and 4-6 were brightened.

Straight from camera upload, will add more later. Kinda amazing.
I note @Jacobl 's comments about rainy weather (https://inaturalist.nz/observations/145884180) - this was on an amazing warm humid night, followed by torrential rain starting a few hours later (and there's a red warning for 600-800mm rain coming shortly!)

On Olearia virgata
this seems to be identical to the photo in https://www.researchgate.net/publication/287164039_Lepidoptera_of_small-leaved_divaricating_Olearia_in_New_Zealand_and_their_conservation_priority and @jtweed 's observation: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/64163931 other than yellower colour. I've looked at Hudson paintings and the small number of other observations of Pasiphila caterpillars and others don't seem similar

Thanks to James Stacy for suggesting an ID! I was initially perplexed by this spider as it resembled Hexathele, but appeared to only have four spinnerets. I subsequently acquired a close-up photograph of this species and realised that it does indeed have six spinnerets, one pair is just tiny! 🕷️
