weather forecaster (scroll past quickly if this is scary for you)

the Huntsman spiders seem to come into the house a couple of days before rain. I dont mind them if they stay up around the ceiling but this one was down a bit too low for my liking and had to be shown the door by my husband armed with a saucepan and lid. This was taken a while ago before all the hot dry weather we have been having.
PS that's not the colour of my walls but a bit of fancy processing

spiders make awesome photo subjects!

He's very dark, well done for not killing him!

[Babs]

I don't mind them inside either, but not in the bedroom.

[Emilie Cartoun]

Much respect for putting this guy outside. You got very close!

[Peggy Sirk]

Excellent close up of your intruder. I'm all about trap and release of uninvited guests like this guy.

[Rosemary]

Haven't seen a huntsman in our place for years

[Susan Klassen]

He looks good at your house, I might not be so gracious if he were in my home ...

[Gayle]

Wow! Terrific shot! :-)

[Sam]

Creepy!!!!!

@inspiredbynature @hunnybee @onewing @teiko @peggysirk @gaylewood @gigiflower @suklassen thankyou all for being brave and looking closely at our visitor. I asked my husband to take him over the road into the bush so he would have a long walk back. Think he's out hunting in the bush at the moment

@rosie1610 maybe its because you dont have any bush close by. They seem to think we provide nice dry shelter
