FTO AUSTRALIA

I was going to check what ECU I have but changed my mind.
Am I a wuss? Yes.

Some sort of orb weaving spidery thing. http://www.mdavid.com.au/spiders/orbweavers.shtml

Also, you ain't seen nothing yet:

Thats nothing to worry about it would only make your arm drop of if it bit you
it just looks like a garden spider, just move it's web out of the way and go on with you task at hand. Cross widow or something like that.

Welcome to Australia Rob.

They're the worst spiders! They're webs are like f**king fine steel wires! I hate walking around at night and run into one of those webs!



I was working in real estate in Qld many years ago and we had a block of land out in the bush for sale. Took a customer out to look at it and no sh*t these f**king orb spiders were everywhere, f**king big c**nts too! There was a vehicle track into the property and no sh*t there was like 3 or 4 of these f**kers for every metre along this track.

There was a massive fucker on my old car once.

Look close...



Closer...



Here it is.

Weight for weight spider web silk is stronger than steel.
Testing had been tried making wire cable using spidy web.
The new carbon fiber?

AJ that's huge, I would have sh*t myself.

But what AJ has not said is that it's not fully grown yet. It's only about 1/2 the size to what it will be.
Not taking the piss ether, they get big .

Mate, I'm from the UK too and this was my first 'big' spider experience. There's a massive story that goes with those pics somewhere on the forum, it's funny reading it but at the time it was the worst thing ever.

And it never will be, it ended up a little bit dead

The only good spider is a dead spider

If the c**nts are stupid enough to enter my house or my car then they deserve to die

I once lost a huge huntsman overnight beneath my dash... Good times

I got a mate who's an arborist & he loves them. Pats them & puts them back in the tree

major sicko

that's what the local call tracers in my area.
Relax, their pretty civil

I've already read up on these nasty dropbears when I was in the UK and will be very mindful when walking in the bush, is it these critters? http://dropbearaware.com/
