Rude Spider wakes Andy (close up pics)

[andyscott]

I finshed work at 6am Tuesday morning and was in bed asleep by 7am.

I was woken up around 10ish by something crawling around and over my face.
By the time I had woken up properly it had settled on my eyebrow.
I flicked it off and turned on the light to find this little critter crawling on my bed.

Ive always called them Badge Huntsmans,
Anyway I put it on a sheet of glass to get some pics of its underbelly (badge)
before letting it go in the garden where ist belongs


Hope you enjoy having a close up look at this little cutie

Wow, looks like a face. Eeewww yuck you are very brave. I woulda screamed and flicked it way off my face. I don't like being mean to spiders but can't help my fear of them. Not sure I'd have the guts to take it outside. I'd have to call someone else in the deal with him.

argh!!!!!!!!! I would have pooped myself seeing as im petrified of spiders

 

[Vixen]

What a cutey, and nice photos!

 

[misssullivan]

lol
Im not 2 bad with spiders as long as i know what and where they are. not 2 keen on having them on my face tho!

 

[Snakebuster]

Did you scream?

 

[andyscott]

Yeah it is a nice looking spider Vixen.
This type is the slowest moving and most placid of the Huntsman family.

SnakebusterDid you scream?

LMAO, no Spiders dont bother me.
On the other hand, put in a paddock with cows and you will see me turn into a wimp real fast.
I hate COWS.

You know it's almost like they know that we're going to go to sleep and that we'd just love to be crawled on. If I see a bug in my room, 90% of the time I will be woken up by it crawling up my leg or on my face. That huntsman has beautiful markings, at least it wasn't something potentially deadly!

 

[FROGGIESrCUTEo_O]

Awwwwww it's so adorable!

 

[i_LoVe_AnImAlS]

thats a purty spider but i don't think i want that on my face

 

[saratoga]

I think Badge Huntsmans can give you quite a nasty bite!......vomiting, irregular pulse, intense pain etc!

wouldn't want it biting part of my face though, and what if it went in your mouth. don't mind spiders, ut will only hold them If I take it from som1, like there holdig it and i crawls onto me, or som1 else picks it up and puts it down and tells meto do the same. unless it's a dady longlegs or i'm taking it outside in a cu with paper under it. you sure are gutsy

Yes Im serious, I do a lot of fishing (walking through paddocks).
Ive been charged more times than I can count.

Cows make me very nervious

 

[missjohno86]

What a great looking spider, love the underbelly colors

 

[BlindSnake]

Sounds like you need a TOOKIE 2000.

I snapped this one a couple of weeks ago.

 

[paleoherp]
