Ron Aldo Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 First decent size home invader of the spider season, one house spider measuring 2cm body and 5cm length from leg tip to leg tip. Edit - I think its leg to leg length from tip to tip is a bit more than 5cm now looking at the photos. Still there above the landing window, very awkward place to try and trap it, so having to wait until it moves. Also took the precaution of blocking any escape under furniture etc. [mention=9645]KnightswoodBear[/mention]Don't think I'd bother trying to trap that.I'd just burn my house down instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 It still hasn't moved. I wonder if it would like a cup of tea and some toast?It's probably eyeing up your wallet as we speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 First decent size home invader of the spider season, one house spider measuring 2cm body and 5cm length from leg tip to leg tip. Edit - I think its leg to leg length from tip to tip is a bit more than 5cm now looking at the photos, 6.5 cm now looking at. Edit Edit - if I keep on with this by this evening I'll be telling you its so big I had to buy it a dog basket and having to padlock the fridge. Still there above the landing window, very awkward place to try and trap it, so having to wait until it moves. Also took the precaution of blocking any escape under furniture etc. [mention=9645]KnightswoodBear[/mention]One of them c***s in my living room the other night. Fast as f**k. Had to chase the swine all over. Plus, quoting younmeans another tag for the baby handed shitebag 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottmcleanscontacts Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I easily caught it using an empty pickle jar, the usual coffee jar was too small and there would have been a chance I could have injured its legs, so couldn't risk it. Imagine doing this in Australia with Huntsman spiders. ''pah! house spiders, call that a spider?'' Spiders in Australia are dogs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I hate to destroy the myth but you see far, far more spiders in Scotland than Australia in my experience. We never have any in our house due to a combination of having two cats and spiders not having to come into people's homes for a heat. I noticed spiders all over people's houses the last couple of times I've been back in Scotland. Granted, the bites are a bit more poisonous here but you're unlikely to get bitten if they're not in your house. That refers specifically to Perth btw - when I used to work for a guy in Queensland he had loads of huntsman spiders the size of T-Rexs running about his garden outhouses: "They're harmless, here, hold one." "I appreciate the offer Ray, but I'm good thanks." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there was a dead pigeon left at the door yesterday which I suspect may have been his doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wee (big?) fuckers over there are just, well they are just nope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I was disappointed or relieved that the sum total of spiders and snakes I seen when in Australia a few years ago was 1 of each, as far as I recall anyway. Certainly very few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Tasmanian Devils being reintroduced to the wild in Australia after an absence of 3000 years. Apparently they pose "no threat to humans". Yes, those teeth and jaws look completely harmless. Good luck to the first person who accidentally stumbles across a protective mother with a newborn litter. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/oct/05/tasmanian-devils-released-into-sanctuary-north-of-sydney-in-step-towards-rewilding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
