An Orb Weaver, huh? I see these things all over the places, often found in gardens. Never that big though. You often see their silhouttes against a light at night and they freak you out. I always thought they were harmless but hmm I guess they eat birds.

Nope wasn't me. Or maybe it was and I don't remember.
You see Huntsmans around and they can be very big and very hairy. I hate those things. Especially when you walk into the bathroom and there's a spider the size of your hand in the shower. I'm not sure what's worse, the rare sighting of a Huntsman in my old house or the common sighting of a cockroach in my current house.
Dis, I have gone for hikes in the Blue Mountains where I have had to walk along a rock face that was white with all the funnel webs along it. This after spotting an Eastern Brown snake and a Red-Bellied Black snake that was about 5 feet long.
