Spider (large pic warning)

[BowtieGuy]

Damn Andrew, everytime I think about visiting you guys down under, I see pics of all those huge monsterous creatures that you seem to grow to be twice the size and be twice as poisonous as anything else in the world! :wtf:

Honestly though, I'd still love to visit Australia one of these days!

Yeah Jeff, believe it or not the kids were having a good laugh this morning at breakfast at the one that crawled out of our air con vent.
It was bigger than this one, it was a huntsman.

Similar to the one below, (Not My Photo)

The black spider with yellow markings I found had made a web on some plants and it was actually quite fun to watch.
I put a ant, a little beetle and a tiny catipiller on it's web over a course of a day and every time the spider ran down and wrapped it's webbing around each one for food storage.
It had no fear of humans and again it was something really cool to see...

This thread was funny to skim through.

Anyway here's a couple of quick pics of a recent molt of mine.

That spider is now bigger after the molt and still is not fully grown yet.

The most venomous spider we have in the uk that is now currently 'native' is this:

It is part of the Steotoda family. Been bit, hurts but not too bad. I'm still alive and have my limbs unlike what the tabloids make out.

I missed this thread earlier, but the tarantula were migrating over here a couple weeks ago. We don't have big ones this far into the mountains, but this little guy was still a lot more substantial than most common spiders.
