| Re: Bird-Eating Spider near Cairns Australia It does the poisonous venom injection into the body or head then runs away until the bird is paralysed or dead... but who wants to have one in their backyard?? Not me...

| Re: Bird-Eating Spider near Cairns Australia ATO2 - Having a go at a pollie - probably will run away once it find the pollie is full of nothing but wind  It's a Golden Orb Weaver, normally grows to size of a hand but this one is very exceptional nevermind the fact that they grow a bit bigger in the tropics. Found in areas mainly coastal of QLD. I'm so glad I don't live in the tropics! Here in Sydney -we have the much smaller St Andrews Cross species -usually comes out at the end of every Summer & can be found in the back garden on the washing line, they don't do any harm as long as one doesn't touch them. |
