Gotta love living in this country. Was just bringing me shopping in from the car when I noted a rather large huntsman trying to carry the vehicle off!!!!

Gawd I hate spiders .... it looked something like below ....

It looks a whole lot smaller and flatter now though - doesn't it :p

Poor little innocent spidey widey.
 
Ugh - James squashed at least two black widows and a fully occupied egg sack on our back walk yesterday. Shudder...

ewwww...At least he got them though! :) wouldn't want a whole family of them taking up residence!
 
That's one good thing I like about living in the UK, we don't have all these deadly snakes and spiders over here. :)

Black Widows can kill humans. You should be careful messing around near them.

Yes, I am aware. Wish we didn't have them here, but apparently we do. Last time I saw one was about 5 years ago in the kids' outside toybox - I'd hoped that was the last time ever. :(

Yeah.

And I HATE spiders, though I usually tolerate the little guys in the house and around the property. Apparently James knew from my face and/or tone that I wasn't joking when I saw the one in the toybox. It really is a bright red hourglass and it FREAKS YOU OUT when you see it...
 
Yeah, I've seen 'em, I've run from 'em, and I've stomped on 'em.... depending on what kinda mood I was in when I saw 'em.
uugghh

Urgh.. in the toybox!!!

We had a Red Back under the sofa once.. that was bad enough, but I would have freaked out if I found one in my son's room. *does the heebee jeebee shake*
 
It was an outdoor toybox, in the play area that surrounds the swing/clubhouse structure. Still VERY heebee Jeebee worthy though!
 
One of my Clients posted this up not long ago, he was in Marrakesh, and this was a little visitor he had under his table at breakfast..... :o

You gotta love huntsman Jethro, they are like big pet spiders, they are quite friendly :)

We get quite a few Redback spiders done here in South Australia.
Always have to be careful with the little one when outside.

Mate I'm a kiwi, anything over about half an inch is a monster :eek: Naturally being arachnophobic I've moved to Australia :oops:

Don't you guys have problems with white tails as well?
