Bernie,

I don't think he'd eat too much of the door though.

Nice detail, btw.

not unless he is on an iron diet........... looks like he was poking around the garden by the bits of crap stuck to his legs....... I may get brave later and get him back into the garden

Nice shot, Bernie. It's just a huntsman and nothing to really worry about.

Leave it in the garage, it'll get plenty of food there.

Very nice shot there! Why not a macro lens??? I have a 180mm for this job!

THey are pretty scary looking if you dont know about them (that would be me).

Whoa! nice capture!

It might look a bit more oriented if you rotate 180 degrees so the spider is diagnoally coming towards the viewer.

You need a rolled up newspaper! Seriously....good shot! It looks so damned real that even the photo is scary!

I showed the Mrs. that picture and was promptly informed, that when we find one of those in the house, it's time to move...

Bugger the paper........you need a gun!

omg a warning in the title pleasssssse lol

if that was in my garage I wouldn't be in the garage!

That's a beauty.

Great shot.

Leave it in the garage. They are not dangerous and they eat redbacks for breakfast.

I think you might be getting huntsman confused with daddy long legs. Daddy long legs prey on redbacks. Huntsman pretty much just eat insects. White-tail spiders prey on redbacks, as well as black house spiders and daddy long legs.
