Nah thats not big, I got bigger house spiders. Shame MBk ain't here to scream, but shes off playing the caped crusader...do hope shes ok!

I agree, it's about a middle weight.

When we moved in & the coal house was bare, they moved out.
After the 1st delivery they moved back in & Sarah refused to fill the bucket.
That was her excuse then and I think she's sticking to it.

Our cats bring them in like birds.
I think the spiders sometime put up a good fight as they occasionally stroll in looking like cartoon cats with badly drawn whiskers.

(That is if they don't just devour them :pukel:)

If spiders survive in our house without the cats or dog eating them, they are welcome to stay!

When I was a teen i used to work on Ipswich market setting up the stools at 4am before i went to school. Between us we found lots of spiders/tarantulas, lizards, large locusts, beetles and other mahoosive insects in the boxes of fruit and veg. Some live scary ones and some dead. Ipswich museum used to buy them off us. Twas cool. Back then it was a proper market behind iceland not the farty lil gift type stools in the town center.

I suddenly feel old.

I'm old enough to remember that market and the original one under the town hall, which was the corn exhange.

I am old :D

This was the only thing that drew fire on base in Basra from the guy I know that toured there

Re: Creepy crawly haters look away
 

thats the creepy big bugger, mine was probably a bit bigger than that and the one that bit one of the lads was probable quarter that ones size
