Spiderbaby (yeah yeah yeah) - Photo of the day

22 February 2009 - Pallinup, Australia

I hear that Australia has the largest number of poisonous spiders, snakes, bugs in the world, or something like that. Here we have a huntsman spider, probably 2-3 cm long, which I guess normally don't bite and are mildly venomous.

I'm not sure if this is the same one we kept seeing in the shack that seemed to be losing a lot of legs. This one has 7 legs, the one we saw later only had 6. It was crawling around the rafters on the roof hunting for bugs.
