Such as....
I'm not sure if the true size of him can be fathomed from this photo...but all I can say is that our cornice is not that narrow...therefore this guy was rather large.
It took The Husband a few minutes to work out a plan of attack (and a few practice swings) to make sure that he was 100% going to be able to smack it...while leaving enough room for it to fall to the floor and not on him or the chair he was standing on...and smack it well enough to kill it on the first shot.
And then when he did...the dirty little guy (spider, not husband) left yukky blue stuff on our wall. Blerk!!!

Eewwww that photo is making me cringe!
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck kinda spider is that???
ReplyDeleteIt's a Huntsman Spider, Leesh. They can get a lot bigger, too :O But are harmless, I believe.
ReplyDeleteOne ran down our hallway when we first moved into our house and I saw it out of the corner of my eye and wasn't sure if it was a mouse or a spider, it was that big....the dog was chasing it, snapping at it and pulling legs off it as it went.....
Yuck that looks like one big spider! Glad your husband could come to the rescue and deal to it!
ReplyDeleteEww!! I thought the one I found in our bath the other day was big. It has nothing on that! YUK!
ReplyDeleteMy parents in NZ would be able to hear me screaming if that was on my wall!!! We seem to get more redbacks down this way but have encountered a couple of huntsman in our last house.
ReplyDeleteThank heavens for husbands aye!!
How weird that it left blue stuff on the wall, would never have guessed the insides would be blue!
Ew, ew , EW!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG its gross, when Damian moved into our place he would move the bath mat and find one under there, since me and the kids been here havent seen one at all....
ReplyDeletea huntsman... really - didn't look like any huntsman I ever saw while living in Melbourne lol... but then, I wasn't normally examining them, rather I was running from them lol
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't realize that's what they looked like close up, either, until I put that pic on the computer! Google images tells me it is a Huntsman, though :)
