Yesterday evening, while I was admiring the full moon on the balcony someone visited me...
It was a funnel-web staying on my room's door...I didn't know what kind of spider was but now I know... I closed all the doors until this morning...

:scared: :scared: :scared:

Hellfire :scared: :scared:

Did you get your light sabre thingy onto it?

OMG!!!!!! :scared:

size

but the male is more venomous...

HUGE! :scared:

Probably fit in the palm of your hand.

I had one in our garden, flushed out when I was hosing down the table and chairs. He/she climbed up on the table top and reared up at me as I came near.
All I had to hand was a spade, but not wanting to damage our new table, I flicked him off first.

Do you think I could see it on the grass? Bloody hell, now what? There's a seriously pissed funnel web on the lawn and i'm standing there in thongs.

Luckily for me, not for him, I saw him first.
Swing went my arm..
Clong when the spade..
Swing went my arm..
Clong when the spade..
Swing went my arm..
Clong when the spade..
Swing went my arm..
Clong when the spade..

There wasn't much left to see. Not so scary now Mr Spider.

Spiders aren't scary at all.

You are all wimps!

Bog off. They're evil spawns of the devil and need eliminating

gives me shivers



I've never had a problem with spiders, my friends scream and run if i see them in the bath i will pick them up an put them in the garden. Now when
i get to oz..... thats a different story. It really freaks me out :scared: just thinking about them. although i have heard you don't get them in Perth

When I was a lad I used to be happy to handle tarantulas. My dad and I went hunting for them on grandad's banana plantation. They weren't fussed if you picked them up.
Now I know what a funnel web or redback can do to you I treat spiders with respect... and the sole of my boots.

a nice male...

HOLY SH** !!! :scared: :scared:
If that was me, you'd still hear me screaming !!
