During my time on Discord, listening to MSP Waves there is often some discussion about the 'deadly' Australian wildlife. In particular, we've had some honorable mentions for snakes, kangaroos (yes, they can be deadly!) and spiders. Oh, and not forgetting the poor old dingo who also rates a mention every now and then.

When the show's talk turned to spiders, I was so disappointed that I didn't have a photo ready to upload of my 'unwelcome visitor' but I was laughing because the spider was in full view for the entire discussion. I just couldn't let him get away before taking a photo so later in the day I took a close up of the spider and I also took a second photo with a ruler placed in the shot so that you could get an idea of the size.

The 'close-up' thumbnail was actually taken with the camera at an arm's length away because I was so frightened that it would launch on my head and I wasn't taking any chances.
Here is the photo with the ruler for a reference to size.
