Arachnaphobia

Hello Blippers! Hope you are all well!

When I spotted this Goliath, I froze. Although i'm not scared of spiders, (cynophobia is my thing) it was pretty scary.

I was home with my little brother, and he ran out the room. Instead of doing something, I decided to wait until my parents came home.

I was off school today, so I took a little trip down to the library and got 3 books that will do me the next few days.

So, for all you spider lovers out there, can anyone identify what type of spider this is?

Hope you all have a great week!
Steven :)
