RE: Little Monsters - Part II: Golden Orb Weaver!
Australia does have a reputation for scary wildlife! The golden orb spiders are left alone here too, they're just hanging out after all. The huntsmen spiders I've seen here have been very non-aggressive, then again it rare to actually see one in the first place.
Thanks for the follow! More Little monsters coming soon!
The huntsmen here are massive and with size they grow confident lol, or perhaps I have just had some serious bad luck with them.
I will admit most of the experiences went bad, because I was either trying to get it out of the house or kill it depending on size and location.
I have literally had one a bit bigger than my hand crawl up my leg when I was in a car down the motorway going 110kmph - luckily I wasn't driving but my mum who was didn't react so well, I have never seen someone pull of the road stop and run away faster :)
Look forward to more critters - do you take shots of caterpillars? they are so trippy looking up close.
Never had one in the car, that would be a very serious situation! Yikes!
I've got some shots of caterpillars, and most things that crawl about around here. :)
