Encountered an improbably large spider on the wall of my home office the other night. At first all I heard was this weird crinkling noise and assumed the window was open and the wind had caught something, but the window was shut. Then I realised it was actually the footsteps of this mammoth arachnid beast stalking its way across one of the posters on my wall. I usually catch-and-release with a cup and piece of paper, but the legspan on this thing was of such prodigious proportions that I had to use a ceramic vase to capture it in. Went to fling it out of the window and never saw it drop. It may still be inside the house somewhere, less than pleased with me.
