You think you have spider problems?

I know some of you post pics of spiders you find around the house. Check this thing out:

An amazing image of a mammoth spider devouring a bird was taken in the backyard of a property near Cairns, Australia.

The image, which is being cirulated via e-mail worldwide, is real, according to wildlife experts, The Cairns Post reported.

The photo, believed to have been taken earlier this week, shows the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web at a property near Atherton, west of Cairns.

Joel Shakespeare, the head spider keeper at NSW's Australian Reptile Park, said the spider was a golden orb weaver.

"Normally they prey on large insects, it's unusual to see one eating a bird," he said. Shakepeare said he had seen golden orb weaver spiders as big as a human hand but the northern species in tropical areas were known to grow larger.

That is just awesome. I do not know how I would go about it, but if I found a spider that large I would have to catch it. But this is not to say that I would not be terrified all the while.

I hate spiders, but that is amazing! Just one more reason to hate them, though.

If I came out of my house and saw that, I would go right back inside, and stay there!

And if the damn spider tried to break in and kill me I would have to call Chuck Norris to come over and kick it into space.

I've killed about ten black widows in the shed within the past month. They just keep having their little spider babies everywhere; I have no clue where all the black widows are actually coming from but they love that shed. Bought some Demon WP, hopefully that will stop them.
