[DieHard the Hunter]

A mate of mine in Sydney is a recognized expert on Funnelweb Spiders, and has helped to classify a number of sub-species. Self-educated: when he’s not chasing spiders he’s a chippie who liks to surf and go fishing.

The male of the species is particularly aggressive during mating season.

Here in Auckand we have a Tunnelweb Spider: it too is aggressive, with a nasty bite, but non-toxic to humans.

That sounds like the life to me, with the possible exception of chasing spiders, lol

Aren't we all? LOL

My Gawd, I Google'd up some images of that brute, and it might be non-toxic, but I'll bet it can scare someone to death! Yow!

So long time no hear FRiend, how have you been doing?

Best,

MKJ ;)
