the Huntsman- commonly referred to in my clan as Huntsies- brrrrr lol
One of the "highlights?!" of summer in Oz is the spiders
NOT my favourite critter and I am moving to a part of the world where spiders are legendary in size- along with most other bugs and crawlies sssshiverrrrrrrrr
but this one was one of three of similar size that were in my living room simultaneously last week.
For OS viewers this is a Huntsman spider relatively harmless unless you have a weak heart and turn on the light and one is sitting on the lamp!! But tickly crawly and quite large although this one is about average for in town but I have seen bigger - at closer quarters unfortunately LOL.
We have a lot of trees in the front garden which also provide havens for Orb Spiders too which spin the most glorious webs imaginable but they can be incredibly icky if you walk into them at night especially when you know there is a rather large spider inhabiting that web!!
Their legs can be up to 3 inches long and they actually thud against the house if the web breaks
