Arachnaphobia




Sharon was not impressed to find about 200 baby Huntsman spiders covering part of the sitting room wall this morning. They are tiny, just a few mms across. However, this afternoon we found Mum, or at least we think it was Mum. She was trying to hide from me and was sprinting across our hall wall and with Sharon anxious to have her out of the house (I trapped her in a lunch box and released her outside), I didn't manage to take a picture.
However, I've added a picture of an adult huntsman to give you an idea of what they look like. Our one had a body about3-4cms wide and her leg span was wider than my hand.
