That's impressive... Not nice, but impressive.

This was even reposted in the first PH thread I saw it in.

Which was a repost in itself, after this post:

If that makes sense.

One of the main reasons that I've never been keen on going to Australia. I'm st scared of large spiders, I hate bugs & crawly things. Yeah I know I'm a wimp.

Groundhog post?

I thought the 'Mouse does the snake' article taken from a link on the same page was equally impressive.

Well done the little fella

Not true at all.

The Giant bird eating spider is the Goliath tarantula and that does indeed grow to around 10inchs leg span, but the jumping 20ft and screaming bit... total bks. That comes from the camel spider myth stories.

Another spider thread - does that mean I can post this picture again?

[groucho]

I find it unbelievable that a spider's web could hold a bird of that size, any size really. Birds are quite powerful.

[Mr Trophy]

PLEASE!! someone tell me that's not real?

[sstein]

How did a bird get caught in a web, surely a spiders web isn't strong enough to capture something as large, and heavy, as a bird ?
