the baby spiders look hungry...

time to eat mommy...

I think I've seen that pic before actually. And they may all live there but you never see them. I was there for 8 months in 06, saw a few big spiders but no deadly ones. And no snakes whatsoever. They're all in rural areas as far as I can gather.

They're also not nearly as big as first imprsessions might make you think they are.

Compare them to your mans sleeve on the right hand side for a bit of scale.

OH FFS! Why couldn't I stop reading!! The Iraq picture isn't nearly as bad as the original! I've been nervously panicking in the centre of the room quickly looking in every direction!:eek::eek::eek:

you could get some of these yokes to eat your spiders. Personally i would prefer the spider. Imagine one of these crawling on your spine or up your trouser leg :eek:

lol- what a movie

Reku

Don't understand the "eww" & "horrible" responses from people but that is one big f*cking spider (using the roof borders as an approximation of scale since they all tend to be about the same size in different houses)!

JohnK

All I'll say is thank **** I havent seen any of those bastards over here :eek:


Knowing my luck though I'm bound to discover them on my bed tonight

Jumpy

Its a just a big Wolf spider in bad light. They are harmless and run away from you.
They will bite, and it would probably hurt, but it definitely wont kill you, it would barely even make you sick.
I have shaken funnel webs out of gardening gloves and had my dog killed by a tiger snake. You get used to it.
