Seen a big spider like that in the workshop at home a few weeks ago so sent a pic of it to the apprentice in work who's terrified of them, followed by a pic of a matchbox with some air holes punched in it. Spent the next day terrorising him with an empty matchbox

You're a BAD man!

at home untill the last couple of weeks (it sadly passed away) there was a snake cage at the end of the 3 seater sofa meny a time people would sit next to it and the cage was about only half a foot from there arm the snake would come out and go near the edge of the cage they would jump out of there skin or one even screamed

to be fair it was a 6 foot snake

Oh I’d have filled you clean in. Terrified of the sods. Had a fellow tradesman try to chase me round the workshop with one once. He got the idea after he got within swinging distance.

"But there was no sound, he just died!"

Just one of the man reasons I shan’t be heading anywhere where things like that are normal

I came downstairs to find 3 dead carcases on the sitting room floor as soon as the dog sees them its curtains for them . he picks them up bites them and spits them out he knows theres one under the chair and its only a matter of time

Whilst clearing the bath tub shed this jumped off a shelf into a Tote pan on the bench after I gently removed it’s tube/funnel web. I saw it jump and heard the landing. Feisty little git, I started out with a four inch stick and very quickly found a longer one! Photos are from a video I took, I think it is a Tube Web Spider and they do bite apparently.

I was a ‘bit’ concerned when I first saw it but apparently it’s harmless. Even though it has eight legs.

I’ll make a name badge up for it. I’ll post badge and spider up to you to attach

That’s a really nice spider. Kinda marked like a wasp, I guess to keep predators away

Spidey McSpiderface?

On a more serious note, looks similar markings to orb weavers

The very first time I found myself in a new girlfriends bedroom (actually, now Mrs Climber) she said I bet you haven't seen one of these before. Full of intrigue and the enthusiasm of a young man on a promise, I was rather disappointed when she passed me a bloody snake.

Weren't you supposed to pass one to her?
