I got bitten by a huntsman a couple of months ago - it hurt quite a lot but luckily there was no reaction.

Here is the ba**ard. I killed it instinctively as it sunk its mandibles into my arm!!!!

The scale on the ruler is inches by the way - we get them much bigger but I just photographed this one as I was upset with it at the time.

I alos killed a brown snake a couple of weeks ago. We have an 18 acre property in the hills but a brown snake outside the laundry door is too close to my bedroom I'm afraid.

Sounds like a great place(apart from the brown snake).
Where abouts in the hills are you? We're stuck in sleepy suburbia and looking to move.

Don't worry Mojo.
We all started that way but education is a fine thing.
Understanding what lies ahead is all part of it.
Good luck with the visa process.

Hi all
Nobody dislikes spiders any more than I do :scared: but I can see the sense of sparing those that do no harm and may help rid us of other pests.

At least with these gadgets you can pick up your spider and place it outside or where-ever you choose and all at arm's length
Probably not a good idea to belt them with a flip-flop, they make a sizeable mess

whilst the body doesn't seem as big as it should be, in proportion to the rest, have to say, the leg span is the largest I have ever seen...
