He is an adolescent spider, he would grow maybe half that size again ...

Australia.... a land I like the idea of visiting, but there seems an abundance of oversized arachnids!.... that said this is Tarantula Season in the hills around here, I'll have to go out and try and shoot some.

Id love to see one however I dreamt of one the day before I brought my camera, the bigger the spider the more luck you get.

This spider was the size of a bread and butter plate

Chances are you wont being we live in Australia, less one escapes from the Melbourne Museum

Craig, I trust you mean "shoot", as in large-format riot shotgun.
Phew. At least everyone gets a leg at Christmas with one of these babbies...
