Well I made it as big and fast as I could with the thickest legs and fed it loads of insects CB, I don't think I would have done that if it was alive Shocked

Whilst talking to my daughter this morning on Skype - she asked, "Should I open this thread about the spider Mum?"

Her fingers must have clicked open before she waited for a reply.

YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE SCREAMING!!! Laughing

Thankfully I am a great believer in the proverb "If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive" or it could have cost me a laptop Jim Wink

I don't know about you Maggie but I am the chief spider catcher in our house, I do it very gently with a glass and a piece of paper whilst shielding it from two curious dogs, it's quite a job !!! I must admit if I was catching and releasing something that size I wouldn't be very graceful about it Embarassed

There would be alot of screaming aswell Laughing

Yep Teresa,

I'm the spider catcher too.

Strangest thing though; I hardly see any spiders here at all. We used to get loads of them in the West of Scotland but I suppose the reletively warm 'DAMP' climate attracted them. Confused

I have only seen one big 'brute' like the one in CB's posting and thankfully it was dead in the pool. Shocked

No I have never seen many spiders in Cyprus either Maggie, but if I do come across anything like that one everyone on CL will be the first to know about, I will either be posting a picture or calling for HELP !!! The latter being more likely Embarassed

Looking at this report I will see one in the UK first Shocked

This spider was on CL last year I think!
I also love the way it gets around the screen and catches all the flies Very Happy
