He doesn't look so bad as a watercolour. You can't see his fangs any more! :) This was a huge boy - roughly seven inches between outstretched tips of legs. I like spiders - but he was right over our entry door...
@clifford No - it's a big Huntsman. They aren't poisonous their bite can cause short term pain, and possibly some swelling, itchiness, and inflammation. They are usually pretty placid - and quite common... Cheers Rob
@congaree Hi John - it was great to read your comment. I love spiders and it was nice to hear that somebody else thought he was pretty good... He was a big one - but typically laid back and non-threatening. Cheers Rob
@merrelyn Hi Merrelyn - he would actually make a nice metal sculpture using that image as a design. He'd probably look pretty good just sitting on a rock...
Hi everyone - I hope I haven't given you the wrong idea about this guy. He's a Huntsman and quite harmless, actually quite nice in a spidery sort of way. They are very docile and usually not a problem. They can jump though and i didn't really want him jumping onto us as we went inside. Luckily, he'd moved on by the next day.. @wakelys@carole_sandford@beverley365@rensala@jgpittenger@rickster549@joysabin@sangwann@craftymeg
