Masticating An Apple

Something to munch on perhaps? Ahhh even the arachnids love the Apple. This little critter (yeah right look at the bloody size of that thing) decided to invade my personal space and crawl onto my laptop whilst I was lying in bed finishing off a few tweaks to the free web directories list.

So what is it? Well it is a spider, or more correctly a common huntsman spider. Looks scary, but in reality its probably the most harmless spider you will ever encounter. They are placid and will not bite unless provoked. Hence this one was cruisy enough to just walk over my keyboard round to the back of the laptop and sit there whilst I took happy snaps…

Now, If the spider had of been a Sydney funnelweb, I’d have been a dead man.
