    Well i'm sitting at my comp this morning when this cheery felow decides to walk across my foot. Not nearly as big as the saffa ones but one the biggest i've seen in nz so far.

    This one crawled onto my pants from the garage for a trip into the house and was probably planning to chew one of my fingers off during the night. According to the map every 10 millimetres represents 100 metres in real life.

    Weve found 2 of those one in the top pic here, on that ruler it they would be hitting the 9cm mark, some freaky shit. Especially when it fell out of the container.

    Darren you baby, that thing is tiny.

    The first one is an Avondale Spider - harmless but f*cking big and scary looking! No an issue.

    this thing f*cking scares me!
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Our neighbours daughter (about 4 I think) just loves bugs and creepy crawlies. We started trying to teach her how to say "Entomologist" she came out with Emptymololog....

    I read somewhere that we eat/ingest quite a few "bugs" in our sleep during our lifetime...

    Saves getting up for a midnight snack I suppose...

    I think you'll find the first one is a Sheetweb spider. Aren't Avondales big grey hairy things?

    Those are still harmless though. It's funny how people have a fear of spiders when all they want to do when they encounter us generally is run away and hide...

    clean your room... spiders like mess

    And if you vaccumed your room... you wouldn't have webs or spiders
