Im sorry i shouldnt laugh but that tickled me - soz

Me I can't stand spiders and have also passed the fear onto my kids ..... but busters mum your last post reminded me of my youngest childs question recently ....there was a large hairy spider called a huntsman spider on the wall in the lounge room ....and OH caught it in a glass and put it outside. A couple of days later she said to me " Mum do husbands bite ?" I looked at her a bit strangely ...."you know"she said "Husband spiders".....

Okay here's the photo ...

if i saw that I'd poo myself!

a loud scream would be emitted from my eldest mouth and the rest of us would run the other way

And I thought we had some strange spiders here in OZ

Funny you should say that

Just had to send hubby out to take that picture, my one never came out. He is a lot taller and very brave.....At least it's on it's way UP the wall

Its nowt that a big shoe wouldnt sort out

but big spiders make such an awful squelchy mess when you squash them...I just can't do it .....

YUK - never thought of that - i think i would have to have a brush in my hand then all the time to sweep them out of the door - can they read - if i put a sign on the door like you do for salesmen would they get the hint

Husband spiders might !!!!

i work with kids - they come out with some brilliant things dont they

There's one just like that on the wikkimedia web site, horrible things!

Shes 9 tomorrow and still comes out some of the most priceless things

Is it poisonous or not ...that is my criteria for whether they live or die
