I know Australia has some strange creatures, butI don't think we include any tree-climbing crabs!<BR/><BR/>Rena, I hadn't heard about the bird-eating spider, so I looked it up. Urrrrrk! We have a similar spider in our garden occasionally. Their webs are bright yellow and really, really, sticky. I generally leave them alone unless they make a web where we might walk into it.<BR/><BR/>Christy, these spiders are not poisonous. Most of the year they're plain little brown things that hide in the garden and don't bother anyone. We have redbacks and white-tails, both poisonous. I don't let them stay around for long!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949383007237428146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277366449172785787.post-54200994916666659492008-12-02T00:00:00.000+09:002008-12-02T00:00:00.000+09:00Oh wow!

I hate spiders, but once there was this gorgeous yellow and black gigantic spider in the bushes outside my house. At first I wanted to kill it, but it was so "pretty". So, I looked it up on the internet, found that it wasn't poisonous and it was good for keeping insects at bay, so I let him stay. That was the first spider that I've allowed to live so close by. I'd let the one in your picture live too. ;0) After I was sure it's not poisonous, of course. <BR/><BR/>Poisonous spiders are one of my greatest fears.C.R.

Now that was a big spider!<BR/><BR/>You said this one didn't have his Christmas colours yet. When do they start changing?Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277366449172785787.post-81215430776756844152008-12-01T01:01:00.000+09:002008-12-01T01:01:00.000+09:00What a neat looking spider...I would never have gu...What a neat looking spider...I would never have guessed that was a spider in your first picture...it looks almost like a crab...grin...Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938209711584620272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277366449172785787.post-8544901922011212072008-11-30T21:16:00.000+09:002008-11-30T21:16:00.000+09:00Kelly, I don't think I'd hang around to take photo...Kelly, I don't think I'd hang around to take photos of a spider like the one in Harry Potter.<BR/><BR/>Luc, I hadn't thought of that, but now you mention it, it does!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06949383007237428146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277366449172785787.post-6429718521944079642008-11-30T16:00:00.000+09:002008-11-30T16:00:00.000+09:00Wow, it looks like one of these Pokemon creatures....Wow, it looks like one of these Pokemon creatures.Luc2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01069557738924277313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277366449172785787.post-71819101625791845682008-11-30T13:34:00.000+09:002008-11-30T13:34:00.000+09:00That is one interesting spider!
