A photo of a huge spider hanging from a roof has sparked concern, with some joking that the homeowner should move out.
A concerned man in Baldivis, 45km south of Perth, shared the scary image on a local Facebook community group and asked for help identifying the mammoth arachnid.
It shows the spider sitting in a web with its long pointed legs curled up under a bulky dark abdomen, as if it is ready to pounce.
The original poster described it as 'one of the biggest I've seen'.

Now that’s a spider! 😏
I remember seeing that at the movie theater as a kid.
All the modern technology, and this is the best picture he could get?
More incompetent, click-baiting, contemporary “journalism”. A story about a “giant spider” with no mention of the actual approximate dimensions.
This is one thread I’m not going to click on to view
A better picture would have required him to get closer. I think he made the right choice....
I had clipped out a newspaper article YEARS ago. My kids were into the books “A series of unfortunate events” at the time.
That was the title of the article.
Some lady in England (?) used a blow torch to kill a spider in her detached garage. The garage caught on fire. Which in turn caught the hedge on fire. Which went towards the house - and it caught fire.
Something to think about:
The size of insects (and spiders, scorpions, etc.) In the past was directly proportional to the percentage of Oxygen in the atmosphere.
Climate change proponents are seeking to increase the percentage of Oxygen by decreasing CO2.
So we should expect larger and larger bugs of every kind if these climate loonies have their way. This big spider is just a harbinger of bugs to come.
