I think a fear of spiders is perfectly justified when they're measured by how much of your face they can cover!

I require visual evidence! I demand pics of aforementioned spider on a volunteer's face, immediately!

Well that's another country on the 'do not visit' list.

What a beautiful spider.

Sri Lanka and India are riddled with spiders of this genus, it's not like some new alien life form.

I heard that once they run out of Haribo, OcUK are going to start including these in the orders of random forum members based on how scared they are in this thread. Just saying...

I read somewhere it was named after the Police Detective who guided the scientist to it... or something like that anyway.

I would seriously lump myself if I came face to face with one of them....

Reading about this then having something large and furry falling and sliding down my back in the shower wasn't my manliest moment

That's beautiful. I hate spiders, but that's just awesome.
