This a pretty spider
Poecilotheria Metallica, aka gooty ornamental. Very fast, very potent venom. Popular as a pet and a bastard to breed hence the ones available command a high price, £75 and up for a juvenile, 100 plus for a adult female.

You've probably got enough spiders now so could you post it to moochedit? He could do with a pet to look after and care for.

It's got a very skinny arse - unless it's hiding it and that is in fact a very thick leg.This stunner arrived just now. It's a Voorhees Dwarf and will reach a maximum 8cm. Naturally I named it Jason and bought an appropriate hide.

It does have a skinny abdomen, so it's a good thing I'm heading to the pet shop later for bugs. I'll have junk in that trunk soon enough.
Baby rabbit? Maybe if i send it to nip you it'd improve your sight ala Peter Parker?

This is the standard silly season sex-crazed spider stories that all local rags publish, sadly. It would be lovely if every country was completely overrun with spiders in autumn, but this never happens.GO FOR IT

Of course they can swim - they can all walk on water. A maurading army of millions are walking across the Irish Sea as we speak - the quickest route for them is to go round South Wales, make landfall on the banks of the Severn somewhere and walk to the West Midlands. If it's windy enough they could fly there even quicker.
