It has no anal pro-legs or claspers (at tail end) which I think rules all Lepidoptera larvae out. Beaut male spider. I hope you submitted it too.

Oh thanks! I did initially think it was a beetle larva but then saw the photos of very similar looking moth larvae.

I think the spider is possibly a Lynx Spider - Oxypodidae (Family) https://www.arachne.org.au/01_cms/details.asp?ID=1102
