You folks won't know what spider-scary is until one day you open a mailbox and a redback lunges at you, frothing venom. 😱😱😱😱

Must admit, my first thought when I saw the size is that is was likely a baby spiker compared to what they have in Australia. Then I realised that there were only 6 legs so not a spider and then I zoomed in and clearly not even an insect! good for a laugh though and goodness knows we need that these days!

I encountered one in the car museum in Sydney in 2002. I moved on very quickly. When I mentioned it I was told "Make sure you always check the toilet when you lift the lid!". I still would not mind living there though 🙂

Look at this absolute abomination! Straight out of hell and yet somehow it is on me to get rid of it.

Just dig deep and be brave. You will be the Hero of the family!

Spiders don’t bother me at all. I quite often pick them up and gently put them somewhere more suitable. In the autumn our spiders have hob nailed boots on, they don’t half make a racket on our oak floor!

Snap! They eat pesky flying things...there’s always a spidery welcome in my house.

Nah I carried out a full Risk Assessment and decided it was safer to set fire to the living room

I love spiders too.... at least the harmless ones we have here in the UK. They are welcome in my home to deal with any flies, so I don't put them out. Not sure I would feel the same way about those scary antipodean ones though!

We have lived in this house for over 40 years and I don't use pesticides so I was happy to have a little spider set up a web behind the blinds in the kitchen. Over the years she grew to quite a size and I used to find her cast off covers on the windowsill from time to time along with the snipped off wings of her dinners.
When I found her curled up and dead one morning I did shed a tear as I swept her up and tidied away the web.
