Arthur's Pass National Park and surrounding areas is home to a handful of spiders. Most of these are only seen by night when they are more active hunting, though riverbanks can provide surprises from time to time. Although the arachnid population is healthy enough, they are decimated every time there is a beech masting event by mice and rats.
