I dont know what it was ,but I was trying to be brave ...am totally Shhhhhhhhhht scared of spiders..but wanna really try to get over my fear of them ..so I started out with a little spider :)
 
RBB you should start off holding a Daddy Long Legs or small jumping spider(brown) and work up from there. My 5 year old daughter loves "Daddy" spiders and brings them to me on a daily basis. i dont let her touch anything else though.
 
Firstly I have never posted a pic so I'm sorry if I do this wrong... now fingers crossed here goes...

This is a rainforest golden orb spider (I think) We get them here around the yard quite alot, this one made it's web over the bbq outside in the undercover area, we were on cyclone watch and it had been raining heavily for weeks so I never had the heart to make her move. She ended up staying for about 2 weeks before dissapearing.

very nice, do you like spiders? i love them to bits every time i see someone go to kill them i rush over and save it no matter what species!
p.s is it true daddy long leg spiders are highly venomous, but they cant penetrate the human skin? i would like to see one eat a cricket!

We would have to ask Greg Byland. Most books state this fact about them but then some say it is myth so i dont know
