marzman Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 While tidying the garage today i moved a box and found a BIG spider! This is probably the biggest i've seen in there... look at the size of it next to the wheel nut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Pussy No, its a spider. And i didnt say i was scared of it, just that it was big ...the camera was at full zoom though, and i did push the nut there with a broom handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Disappointed Chris thought you had one of these in your garage then! Mind you if that spider can remove your wheel nuts just leave it alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosCh Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 That spider is really nothing remarkable in terms of size... but I guess I am used to see big tropical spiders in my own garden now and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 tbh it wasn't even that big, im disappointed i had a huge spider on my ceiling, decided to catch it in a glass, then i realised there were three more! bout the same size as the opening of a pint glass. when i put it down on the table it made a right racket boucing off the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 So where's the fangs?? Ever seen the movie Arachnophobia? Some of it featured our Avondale spiders. Harmless but biggish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosCh Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 One thing about spiders is that size does not matter when it comes to how dangerous they are... Take this one here as an example: Does not look like much and it is quite similar to the one the OP showed us, probably about the same size... although I am pretty sure it is not one of these. Do a search for Brown Recluse Spider on Google... just do not do it after or while eating, you might suddenly lose something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah the Avondale AKA the Huntsman spider ........ we had those in Nigeria .... fast little devils they are Sure are. Fairly harmless in the form we have them here. Nothing poisonous here, a few will give a nasty bite though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
