What spider?

O yeah, can see something among all that DUST!

Dirty student.

Now now, just because you're miserable it doesn't mean you need to bring others down with you

The extra large slipper is prepared!

We trapped it and put it outside one of our flatmates door. The screaming an swearing at 7AM the next day was epic.

It was about 6cm long including legs, so pretty small really

I was just surprised that it can jump and ran TOWARDS me with its front legs in the air when disturbed.

I'm not worried, but it's an ugly bugger and I thought I'd post it up on here for all our spider haters

Reminds me of that picture with the spider in the corner of the guy's room with lots of little smaller spiders around it. Tried to find the pic but google not playing fair. Anyone else know the one I mean?

That one?

Thats the bad boy. I did a search for it but only found a myspace link which I didnt know until AFTER I clicked it. My Actions have now been logged with IT for trying to visit a banned site lol

I searched for "spider hundreds" in google image search.

Awww bless did you keep him?

Edit: Your probably the only person I know that after being attacked by a rabid death spider, would actually take a few picks then go online to figure our what type of spider it was.

Generally I scoop them up and lob them outside and thats the last I think of them

It's in our hoover. It's the only way we could catch it as it was way too fast to catch in a pint glass and one of our girl flatmates refused to let us leave it be.

It was actually John who looked it up, he's not a big fan of spiders, although I took the pics as it's a rather ugly looking thing.

It could be ready to crawl back out of the hover if it's got a nozzle like 'Henry's' have.

Yep, it's a Henry hoover. I'm not bothered if it escapes, and hoovering it up seemed to stop my flatmate panicking about it so we just won't tell her it can escape.

Have you thought of a name for him yet?

I was thinking Steve.

2cm is its body size, and not all variants have green jaws, this one had red it seemed.

Like I said, it's the aggressiveness that surprised me.
