House Spider
Our resident huntsman moved in just shortly after us. Ronnie's first instinct was to move it straight out again but I've never had a house in Melbourne that didn't have a huntsman so I can't really see the point. He or she will just come back. Or an even bigger one.
Even for an older spider this one doesn't move around much. Well, at all, really. And, for an adult, it's not terribly big. It just sits in the hall above our bedroom door. (giving that extra frisson to entering the bedroom....) For the first time, the spider unfurled it's legs this week and revealed the secret of it's lethargy. There are only six of them. Legs, that is.
We couldn't possibly throw it out now, could we?
