This guy gave me a fright!
And we are still fighting the tons of Bees visiting the Jacuzzi. Marbles in a dish with sugar water seem to be the best option so far!
We have had two of these so far!
And we had one of these... didn't get a good photo.
These guys are the reasons we always shake out our shoes before putting them on!
Nope!.....and nope again! I have an unhealthy fear of these buggers. Was chopping firewood for donkey at the farm when I was a kid, and got stung by one. Thought I was a goner. My aunt put a bicarb poultice on it and told me to carry on. Still...nope!
Snakes and scorpions are still ok but my fear is spiders hate those little buggers.
I have a large collection of photos of rainspiders and black widows. (Ill look for them sometime.)
Just the other day a rainspider crawled out from under my desk!
Not a very venomous one.
Thin tail and big claws = little venom
Fat tail and small claws = very venomous
Makes sense. If you have small claws you need strong poison to handle your victim. Likewise, if you have big claws you don't need much poison to handle your food.
Uncle Rob, did it help you wick a couple of tanks, with that fluff on the left pinser there.... might be "handy" to keep around if you misplace your tweezers or scissors...
I will sh#t myself truly im like a little girl when it comes to spiders. If i walk thru a spiders web oh man strip time its like my hands and arms are not part of me anymore and they do their own thing. Neighbours would be like this guy lost his marbles. Hate them with a passion.
Think he was ROBbing Uncle ROB lol.
Always a great day when you are in your bedroom barefoot and this gut comes strolling out from under the bed looking to make friends. 
My wife found this guy in the garage yesterday.
Good habit to form IMHO
Have you burnt your house down yet?
Its a scorpion spider. Harmless

I should have said this is Mothzilla.
Had a slithery visitor this morning. Quite aggressive and bigger than the normal size we normally get. Safely released into the gorge. Beautiful specimen!
