Spiders


When I sat on the computer last night I didn't believe my eyes. On the wall in front of me a big spider walked along its way. And what kind of spider. It was such big as my hands. Never seen such a large example.
My motto - just a dead spider is a good spider. Ok, ok, I don't have anything against spiders but in this country you never know if it is a toxic or nontoxic one. And the toxic ones are very very toxic.

So I tried to catch him but he escaped (bad luck) and disappeared in the darkness below the PC table. Well done, Wolli, arghh!

The next day I've heard from aonther housemate that he appeared again jumping on his keyboard while he was sitting on the PC and typing. He told me that they put him outside.

Regarding the spider chart and a internet research the guys meant that it was a Huntsman spider.

Iiiii, is ja schaurig! Da empfehle ich dir die Anschaffung eines Spider Catchers (siehe: www.echt-wahnsinn.de/Spidercatcher.html). Ich hab auch so ein Ding, doch für die europäischen Mini-Spinnen ist es eher weniger geeignet - die schlüpfen da schnell wieder raus. Für solche Oschis wär's genau das Richtige! Oh Mann, ich glaub, mich tät der Schlag treffen... Is ja wie im Dschungelcamp!
