Default found this bad boy today, a quick update.

well today i went to pick up my old escort i found under a tree, i thought i'd have a good look round it as i did not bother to much before as it was cheep as chips. so i was a bit hung over as i was at a wedding yesterday and not paying much attention when i spotted this bad boy ahahahha.


fark that woke me up ahahhaa i am a bit more carefull nowadays after i got bitted by a redback last year ahahahah, so i moved him out a bit lol




and this is where the little fecker was hideing lol



i think it's a female huntsman spider they are not bad but do bite lol

i used to give my aunty a heart attack everyday when i was on holiday over there coz i would come in to the house with redbacks in a glass jar and say look what i caught, was just a kid so did'nt know any better. that huntsman can give you a right nasty bite though.

most things out here don't bother you at all it was my fault i got bitten last year you just need to take a bit of care, snakes fook off fast as if you come across them it's only if ya tred on one it will bite you. spiders leg it lol he was to quick for me today and ran off under the dash so he will still be in there somewhere i don't want to kill him just get him out ahhaha if i can't find him i have some stuff that will kill everything in the car but feal i should give him a chance lol they are a good spider and eat all the nastey spiders so aren'ta bad thing to have around.

thats only a little huntsman, few times I used to go out the back garden and wonder what was in my dogs mouth, get up close and just see legs poking out after he had caught one of them.

They grow into big buggers but completely harmless, only thing it would do is frighten you to death if it drops out of a tree onto your shoulder which they like to do.

I (well my ex) used to have a red kneed tarantula as a pet, big fucker it was, gentle as fuck though, used to feel mad walking on your hand.

I used to hate spiders, but think they're ace now, don't mind snake either, it's flying insects, wasps and shit, that I really hate, had one fly in the car last summer when I was bombing it down some dual carriageway, I very nearly just opened the car door and bailed out at 80mph, shit mesen I tell thee.

Its a spider so what? With all the 'ooh i'd have run a mile and cried' posts you'd think this was passionsewingmachine.com

I'd keep it in there as a pet if I got hold of a tidy two door like that one

I'm pretty sure there should be two of them. Huntsman go around in pairs. Look harder and you might find another somewhere.
