Can you identify this Spider?

Tdh1987 · 7 Oct 2009 at 10:15

Came across this huge thing when I was working yesterday, I managed to take a picture (it appeared to be camera shy!). Don't suspect it'll be dangerous at all just curious. There was a family of them behind the Gas meter of all different sizes. The picture is huge so I've posted a link.

Thanks

+1 on that, After about 10 minutes of hunting for the spider in the op pic.

It's a vampire cat eating spider from Indonesia - it probably came in a packet of peas from Asda. I'd call the national guard before it gets you. Actually I think you should nuke it from orbit - it's the only way to be sure.

yes its working now, wasnt before

Fenris · 7 Oct 2009 at 10:42

Yeah, just a giant house spider, they are very common around this time of year.

My house has these buggers for the first time ever this year, big mofos that scare me

Thanks for the help guys

I killed most of the smallers ones, but never saw this one again, so it's probably still wondering around at work behind the stock I was trying to work in warehouse. After that I decided I'd get somebody else to continue my job
