i am really not afraid of spiders but i must admit, they don't look overly cuddly
i'd probably move if i saw some of those fellas sneaking around my place.
Think I'd prefer red backs. Least they are smaller!
Dude, that is seriously something from a horror picture. It's like 3ft across right? (Seriously whats the scale on those pics?) Also, wtf is that 3d graph of?
There was a cane spider (maybe 3-4" across)in the McCully apt. one night and I about lost my shit.. they don't bite though and are known to pretty much just eat the cockroaches so I tried to be ok with it. but when it got on the ceiling and started coming towards the bed it was all over. We caught it in a colander and threw it outside.
this one was actually fairly small, maybe only 3" across if it fully stretched out.... and remarkably docile. i had the lens at closest focus, 0.8ft with the lens right in the spiders face and it didn't flinch. i had to poke it to shuffle it out the door. the bigger one at mccully damn-near charged liz. and while hanging upside-down on the ceiling too. inverted charge. hardcore.
they do eat roaches like it's nobody's business...
that's it I am never living in Hawaii it looks like the spider from Lord of the Rings
