Found this guy (or girl) in the bathroom. Quite different to the Sheetweb i saw outside the other week but thats the closest one iNaturalist is recommending. This one has a much smaller abdomen and much bigger cephalothorax. Hope someone can confirm?

INaturalist Mātaki Taiao has a distinct lack of photos of our precious NZ bat species even though there are many records out there. Together with NZBCT I’m endeavouring to upload photos where the locations/dates are available and attributing the photographer. Photos with strict copyright etc will obviously not be uploaded.
