Huntsman Spiders & My Apology to my Nieghbors!

Now first I want to say, the images in this blog are not mine, but they were taken of the world wide web to show as examples of the culprit that is making this blog neccesary

This is a Huntsman Spider->

and her babies:)

They are common in Australia and may be my reason for leaving.

I will tell you what happened.

Since I hurt my foot a couple of monthes ago, I have been taking my dog for smaller walks through the day and the last one is usually right as the sun is going down. It settles her down and helps me stretch my foot. So this evening we were walking our normal route when in air near a bush I saw what I thought was a bird or maybe a bat.

Something BIG and in hanging in the air over the sidewalk.

I kind of oblivious just kept walking not really paying attention.

There are birds all over and I have seen bats in this area before so, I wasn't thinking until.....I came face to face with the biggest spider EVER, hanging in my face.

Needless to say, I screamed, LOUD.

So here is where I apologize:

I am sorry for freaking my nieghbors out, who came to thier doors making sure someone wasn't being murdered.

Thank you for your concern but...I don't understand.

How do you live and sleep comfortably knowing that something like

Is around????
