Just encountered the biggest spider ever on the bathroom floor. Swear I saw him having a fag and beating up a cat. Might have cacked it a bit frown



(p.s. my head was at the height of the towel rail, ish. Yes, I am a big girl. Quiet down in the cheap seats.)

Female house spider.

Unusual for them to come in at this time of year though? Unless they've spotted a male they particularly like the look of..?

That's either Pete or Dave. Bit hard to tell from this distance.

Sorry. biggrin

Linky says "...the leg span of this spider can reach up to 60mm..."

bks - I've seen them far bigger than that. A pint glass can barely contain the legs. You know, the kind of spider that makes a 'thud' when it drops onto the duvet.

Sleep well. smile

It's a Brazilian wandering spider, since it is wandering around your bathroom looking for a Brazilian, basically, you are fked, get life insurance quickly!

I hate spiders! I have my friend staying with me for 2 weeks and I'm supposed to protect her from them! I've just read this before going to bed and we have black sheets so we won't see them!

Sweet dreams indeed! frown

Those house spiders DO bite, by the way. I picked up a medium-sized specimen by one leg last year to carry it outside, and it span round and bit the tip of my finger. Didn't draw blood but the skin felt sensitive for a few hours afterwards.

I haven't picked any up since. paperbag

Oooo...that's a killer. It'll jump on your face while you sleep and set up home in your mouth. You'll wake up, screaming, as hundreds of baby spiders spill out from your mush.

Honest.

his name is eddie the spider.

he has form for wounding with intent, arson, gbh, rape, money laundering, and worst of all he regulary drives doing 33 in a 30 zone.
if seen please contact the police and do not confront him as he is VERY violent.

sleep well....... don't have nightmares!
