Bathroom spider

This spider gave me the fright of my life last night when I went to clean my teeth before bed. He was on the bath mat hanging over the side of the bath so I pushed the mat into the bath for the night as I didn't want to bump into him when I got up to the loo in the dark! When I went into the bathroom this morning, there were 2 enormous spiders hiding in the bathmat. I squealed but couldn't resist getting a pic of them and this is the best one that I took because it shows his hairy legs, etc. Best viewed large if you have time

Apparently they come into the house to look for a mate..!
Excellent shot, Rosie, glad you didn't lose your cool.

Lovely hairy legs! I don't really like them either but photographing them does help.

Great capture with good detail

Our place is full of em, and I am chief 'getter-ridder' of them. More will arrive in September after the sun and as the rain persists, so batten down the hatches!
