a tale of eight legs x3

What a night! Came home and put some rubbish out. When I came in I noticed a biggish black shadow on the wall, and turned the light on to see quite the spider! (not the one pictured). Then got a bit excited and ran around the house to find my camera, went up the stairs to notice a bigger spider (not the one pictured). Thought crikey this calls for a macro lens.

Couldn't find the macro lens and upon decending the stairs noticed another fella (the one pictured). Happily snapped away, when mum arrived and home, and beckoned the brothers (being men and all) to help us helpless spider fearing women. Note at this point I was still snapping away.

Brother one took one look and fled. Brother two appeared and decided his deogerant lid wasn't big enough, and reappeared again with his own camera. By which point mum had put her longest pjs on possible and tucked herself in bed (more like wrapped herself up in a spiderproof layer of blankets and pajama madness). Brother two appeared again with a LARGE glass and accumstomed spider two whilst I documented to his laughs of go away. Meanwhile spider 3 (photographed here) disappeared.

Spider 1 was the next to be evicted. Currently we are all under the protection of our rooms, complemplating taping up the doors, as this little BIG guy is still on the loose. Note the picture doesn't do justice, literally HUGE!
