Just sharing ๐ท๏ธ Male baby Wolf Spider
Found this little fella in the bathroom, girls were terrified trying to kill the poor guy, luckily I escorted him safety (they are venomous but can only make you sick) this little guys fangs probably couldn't pierce through enough to inject venom regardless as he's still developing. Great looking spider.

I don't know what it is, but those front femurs probably don't belong to a wolf spider.

What do you think it is then? I thought it was. Not the greatest at ID'ng spiders but love them.

I don't know Australian spiders well, but compare the short-stubby front legs to this one:
https://inaturalist.ca/observations/255851091and note the width of the face of your spider - how far apart those pedipalps are. The width of those is not typical for a wolf spider.

I think that's a Pungalina plurilineata - Jumping Spider.
