The main photo presented above is of a spider found in a Briabane house. It seems to match Wunderlich's 1976 description of
Agyneta vera, which is accepted by the World Spider Catalog as a linyphiid species recorded only for Queensland. There are almost
no published photos of it but one taken by Iain Macaulay seems to be this species.
Spider(s) with a very similar appearance: Some very small theridiid species.
