Super spider

Yesterday I was interviewed by Mikki for her dissertation – as a first generation Australian – it’s an interesting topic that raises a few ponderings for me about the nature of Australian culture.

Afterwards we visited Rhiannon and her friend Clare. All was good until the spider was spotted, it was a big ‘un.

 

(that was with my mobile camera) Naturally, we sprayed it with death spray and it just shrugged it off and continued to crawl around. I know I should have squished it but when they’re big I feel bad about it. Clare, rightly pointed out that would leave a mark as well. Eventually it got onto the newspaper that was being shoved under it and thrown out the window.

Where it was last seen alive and well – despite poison and newspaper – going over the side of the roof.

 

(That was taken with my Cybershot – bit of a difference!)
