This has to be the biggest spider, which I am assuming is a tarantula, that I have ever seen here. He/she is around 4 inches long as seen in comparison with the can! The other 2 photos are when I put it inside a pint glass so that I could photograph it before releasing it back into the garden.

You do know that they always come in PAIRS, don't you?

If you only find ONE, then there's another one lurking nearby...

Well over the years we've had two, separately I may add, terrified by people saying they come in pairs!

If she is that big she has probably mated and eaten him!!!!
generally you find his carcase and then try and find her

I have had two :: one was stationary half way up a wall and I thought it was a toy spider that someone had left there as a rather sick joke - until it moved! The other I was alerted to by the dogs barking their heads off - a really good reason for keeping dogs, one of mine (dogs that is although I suppose the spider does too) also catches flies,

Conkers grow on horse chestnut trees and I have never seen one here so we will just have to conquer (joke ) our fears

Distinct difference I gather from one spider to the other i.e. Cyprus version. Somewhere way back on this forum Kemal from the Wildlife Sanctuary, explained the difference and it was somewhat reassuring!!

This little baby decided to join me in the shower when I lived in North Cyprus.

perhaps you should change your name to solic 0035 (Joke)

(half of 007 since it was such a small tarantula)
