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.

Just wait till you go to empty it...

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

Ok, everyone has to promise to stop quoting the picture of the big spider with the little spiders. Heart attack imminent.

I'm not bothered by spiders but If I saw that giant spider (probably not that big IRL but the picture makes it look massive) with all those little spiders hanging around, I'd probably, **** myself, torch my house and run.

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.

Apparently the tube web spider is about 2.2cm in size, are the photos macro shots?

It is a large spider, measuring between 1.5cm and 2.2cm (0.6-0.9in), with green iridescence on its jaws.

Or I'm guessing 2.2cm is it's body size?

Kreeeee · 9 Jun 2009 at 16:49

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

im scared now

I hate spiders.

I live in the city centre and have a little enclosed courtyard which always has these spiders around. They like to sit in the corners of the walls. I could probably find 10-15 of them in about 2 minutes.

I've never found one inside though.

Without spiders we'd be swarmed by other insects.

aayzof · 9 Jun 2009 at 17:49

i just kill them

Cambofrog · 9 Jun 2009 at 17:56

Only gays and women are scared of spiders

Great name for a spider! Actually, a great name for anything.I wanted to call my dog Steve but was vetoed by the wife.

But a pet spider....might be onto something there

Imagine going to the bathroom and when you need to use the roll you see that. What would you do

You would be scared to run away too as it might leap at you

DreXeL · 9 Jun 2009 at 18:15

I have three or four of them living in my garage walls around the up-and-over door. They are always out to greet me when I get home from work

STOP QUOTING THE SPIDERS!

Every time I scroll down to get away from they, they're there aswell!
