    I don't know the actual story behind this I just got it in an email with the caption "Actual photo taken in a guys house in Australia" and thought I'd share..

    Don't open this if you have a spider phobia :o

    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.

    Nothing a can of lynx and a lighter wouldnt sort.....

    Ahh...arachnaphobia...what a film...

    imagine that was how we all got rid of spiders from our houses...

    although isn't it true that theres about 4000 spiders in an average garden or somethin like that?

    little feckers...
