This hairy spider has been living in our house for a while much to the delight of my wife and kids (not). He was evicted over the weekend but not before I had a chance to take some macro shots for my spider loving flickr friends.
(You there Kristy? - getting braver?)
Don't be afraid to get up close and personal with the original size file.
A huntsman extending its extremeties during a moult. Spiders undergo moults several times during their life cycle until they reach sexual maturity. Some long living females such as the tarantulas will undergo annual moult.
Moulting allows spiders to grow and regenerate lost limbs.
Just a wee lil spider this morning at Sheps Mound, to which my mate just picked up and moved on (with a Magpie on watch for breakfast)...
Just waiting on some small parts from some OE's that went missing. Real close to getting this one OUT the door!
Meanwhile the huntsman came nearer and when he saw the maiden in the window, he said to himself, "I have travelled so far now that I will rest, and turn into this beautiful castle; money I have in plenty." But the real reason was that he had caught sight of the lovely face of the young girl and he wanted to see more of her.
As he approached the front door of the castle, it was opened by a maidservant who welcomed him into the house. When he stepped inside he stood in awe of the polished black and white marble floors, the fine furnishings and the rich tapestries about him, yet it all paled into insignificance when he gazed upon the face of the beautiful witch-maiden as she greeted him at the top of the stairs.

This is Hunter Huntsman of Ever After High's father. Personally, I think Chris Hemsworth is better as the Huntsman than he is as Thor.
His weapons should be a pair of hatchets and some daggers.
He deeply distrusts King Henry in my crossover story, since he knew him when he was the irresponsible young prince. So he has a hard time when Henry declares himself Snow White's protector and vows to help her regain her rightful throne.

This baby Huntsman spider was right in the corner, on the ceiling of our bedroom. I stood on the bed to take this photo, so am amazed that I was able to stay still enough to get clear focus without blurring. As the photo is heavily cropped, the spider is not as big as it appears, its body being around a centimetre long, with the legs about 2cm or so each. The adults grow to at least double this size and can measure up to 15 cms wide from leg to leg.
The next day, when it had moved down onto the wall, I put a glass over it and slid a piece of cardboard between the rim of the glass and the wall, trapping the spider inside the glass. I took it outside and shook it into the garden, then went back in to put the glass in the dishwasher. When I reached into the dishwasher, I realised that the spider was still on the glass, but now on the outside! I quickly went out again, and this time, made sure it stayed out in the garden!
The common huntsman spider is found throughout south-eastern Australia. As adults, huntsman spiders do not build webs, but hunt and forage for food: their diet consists primarily of insects and other invertebrates, and occasionally small skinks and geckos. They live in the crevices of tree bark, but will frequently wander into homes and vehicles.
These large spiders move very quickly, they are hairy with long legs. They are able to travel extremely fast, often using a springing jump while running, and walk on walls and even on ceilings. They also tend to exhibit a "cling" reflex if picked up, making them difficult to shake off and much more likely to bite. The females are fierce defenders of their egg sacs and young. They will generally make a threat display if provoked, but if the warning is ignored, they may attack and bite. They have been known to inflict defensive bites, but are not widely regarded as dangerous to healthy humans.
The female huntsman lays up to 200 eggs and guards these eggs, without leaving them or eating for around three weeks. Which makes me wonder where the remainder of the baby Huntsman spiders are hiding????

This had been wandering around our lounge room (evading us) for a day or so. I found it finally in a curtain but it wasn't looking too good. It did get up and move about, especially when I put it outside but most of the time it decided to freeze.
I got up early last week to take my daugther to work and discovered this spider sitting high up on the wall. He was a fairly large fellow so I decided to take his photo.
