Hate spiders,saw a big mother in a plastic container in the shed yesterday so I picked the container up and took outside and tried shacking it but it wouldn't come out so I just drowned the thing instead.

Huge Huntsman in the Letter Box the other day.

It's either fling open the lid and stab inside it wildly with a rolled up Super A-Mart Catalouge, or just get a new Letter Box.

A British holidaymaker almost lost his leg after he was bitten by a flesh-eating spider .
Jonathon Hogg, 40, believes he was bitten while travelling on a Qatar Airways flight between Doha and South Africa.
Within hours, the spider venom had begun to eat away at Mr Hogg’s leg.
‘The pain was like nothing I’ve been through in my life,’ he said.

I refuse to throw them out as it can kill them putting them outside. I just name them and let them have the run of the house, just have to shepherd them away from the dogs bed otherwise he'll have them.

Never thought about naming them.... how do you recognise one that you have previously named as against one you've yet to name? lol

I usually go off size.

I remember listening to Karl Pilkington who said his mum put tippex on the one they had so his dad couldnt kill it. lol

Had a big huntsman living in my old ute for about a year, it just used to appear every few weeks. Managed to flick him out the door at the golf course one day when he crawled across my arm as i was about to drive home

Was it like this?

I would have chopped my arm off and buried it. ALL THE NOPE.

I actually go one step further and feed the spiders in our house house flies to make sure they stay during the Autumn / Winter. As you've said they eat no end of nasties. We've got a few really big ones that come out at night and leg it across the floor. My missus and the kids hate them, but I enforce a rigorous " no kill " policy !.

The ones that fascinate me are the tiny ones that make cobwebs. How can something that small make such huge webs ?.

I'm a weirdo. The bigger a spider is the less bothered I am. It's the smaller things you can lose track of.

I used to own a Chilean Rose tarantula, her name was Terri. She was awesome.
