It's called a "pillbox" millipede, I think! $\O$

What kind of spider is this?
I thought it could be a golden orb

Taken at the office in the basement (Johannesburg)

The first is a slug, Amoli!

The second a Wolf spider, or rain spider as they are sometimes called!

Your beetle pic, nana:

And a reply from Dr Whyte:

Cannot be sure, but they are probably one of the Dermestid beetles which are also known as “Skin Beetles” or “Hide Beetles”. Some species feed on the desiccated remains of animal carcasses after blowfly larvae have left.

One of the Subfamily: Coprinae (scarabs or dung beetles)

Copris elphener
