The beauty of a spider
As a reformed arachnophobic, I can now appreciate some of the amazing spiders I find hiding in the garden, and this one is a real beauty!

I’ve always loved spiders lovely photo looks like an orb weaver spider we have to look after them they are so important 
Yep. All the little bugs have an important part to play, even the ones that eat my plants.

I woke up one morning to see a big huntsman on my wall,tried to wake my then husband,but I could not talk or move. Had to just lie there and wait till he woke up. Never took my eyes off it.I too am not a fan, having had a spider (Huntsman) 'leap' out at me .....
Better than it on your pillow or in your bed had that happen before.I woke up one morning to see a big huntsman on my wall,tried to wake my then husband,but I could not talk or move. Had to just lie there and wait till he woke up. Never took my eyes off it.
Actually, my son woke up one morning and found that he was stroking something on the floor - turned out that it was a Huntsman spider who appear to be just as frightened of the attention as was my son, once he discovered what he was stroking!I woke up one morning to see a big huntsman on my wall,tried to wake my then husband,but I could not talk or move.

That is not the only frightening episode I have had with one of these 'beasts'

too funnyWell at the time (of the other episode), instead of being frightened of myself and the 2 boys, it became the aggressor - have never seen a Huntsman react in this way before ....“Beasts”
Might have been a pregnant female or looking for a male to snack on after doing “it”

Had a spider in the car also. I had a car load of teenagers (BOYS) My younger son was in the back and suddenly he was in the front, just about sitting on the dashboard. While I was driving. You'd think I had all girls.
Just found this in my puzzle book:
A female black widow spider can mate with, then eat up to 25 males in one day.
The slut of the spider world.
