The Fun Never Stops
So there I am, heading into the bathroom to wipe off the sweat that comes when you have spent the day shifting eighty boxes of books from the top floor down into the garage in 30 degree heat. And I reach for the wash cloth, and I get a handful of AAH GIANT SPIDER GET IT OFF ME GET IT OFF ME!!!!!!
I think the spider had much the same reaction, and it bounced off the wall and ran under the sink. I hosed it down with bug spray and captured it in a cotton-bud box. Long legs, medium-sized body, spiky hairs: a huntsman, which is pretty harmless, and probably the most common large spider around here.
They can get pretty big; fortunately, mine wasn't quite the size of this one:

Yaagh!
Even with all the snow I just had to shovel, I still think it's worth not having to deal with over-sized critters like that monstrosity. The cold keeps cold-blooded things from being able to *get* that big. All we have to worry about is the occasional, smallish rattlesnake...

And this is why we may not ever visit your fine country on holiday. My wife has a great fear of spiders. I'm called in to kill tiny little critters that she calls "huge" while she runs to the other end of the house. It's pretty much the only reason she keeps me around.

Good God, man! Is there any kind of nasty creature that doesn't find its most viscious and/or venomous and/or aggressive and/or huge and/or deadly variant in Australia?
