EEEEEP!! Huuuuuge hairy spider!

Yes, yes, i know, the Australians won't be impressed, but Sphinx was rather, and I found it interesting.

This is the spider I mentioned in my last post. We found that when we emptied out the room which is now the game room in Sphinx' basement...





Shudder...

Awwwww.... poor baby.

You should put a ruler next to it and take another picture.

You're right, it wasn't all that huge. But I liked the hairiness and scariness of the thing. Also, my poor sister was rather impressed.

The "poor baby" was for the spider!

How big was it?

[yakalskovich]

Yep, I realised that. It was dead as a dodo, too, poor thing. I'm not scaredf them; I try to let them live because they eat mosquitoes and suchlike, and that is entirely a good thing.

It was about two inches across, the way you see it here, from leg joint to leg joint.
