The Unwelcome Guest - ** SPIDER WARNING **

Just a couple of shots after my hands stopped shaking!
Yes, I admit it, I'm not exactly "happy" when I see a spider in my sink that's bigger than the palm of my hand...


And even though I heard these beasties eat other nastier bugs, I still chucked it out the window after I'd got it settled into an emptied and opened-up 1 litre milk carton - which was quite a challenge, as it kept making loud 'tapping' noises inside, which spiders (as far as I'm concerned) are just not supposed to be BIG ENOUGH to do!!!!!!!

Enjoy....if you can!

yikes!!!! great shot,but not a great subject,i would need a BIG lense to get a pic of one of those puppies..lol

nice shots

nice shots, i have to admit i'd have run off screaming lol i'm terrfied of spiders

Hey Simon, did he bark at you?

good shots - looks like a big one

Thanks for the comments all,

What's more, every time the flash went off he/she accelerated towards me incredibly quickly, with the result that I nearly went VERY RAPIDLY through the kitchen wall....backwards....h​olding my macro set-up....six times!!!

And it's the second one we've found in the new apartment...I just can't figure out how they're getting in....which means that, in a scary-hairy way, there's probably going to be more like this pretty soon!!!!
Yikes!!!!!

Poor thing was probably trapped in the sink and couldn't get out for who knows how long.

awsome looking spider, well done

@ Mitch...yeah, I think you're right, it was trapped....right up until I launched it out of the window!

Thanks Phil, and love your mantis shots on your flickr site! But don't try to tell me those are found wild in The Wirral!!!!!
