Monster spider


This truly is the biggest house spider I've ever seen. Good job I'm not scared of them. (Well, just a little, when they start to scuttle across the floor like a mouse.) I managed to hold the tape measure in one shaky hand whilst clicking the shutter with the other.

I first noticed him in the room all the coats and boots are stored in, and had a nasty fantasy that he or she might take up residence in my welly, or my coat pocket. Then this morning the beast had migrated to the kitchen and spun itself a hammock-like web. We have a big party here this coming weekend, and if Big Spid hasn't moved on by then, we'll have to rent a fork lift truck!
