Eight-Legged Visitor

One of the more interesting things about summer around here is the abundance of interesting insects and other creatures. We usually have frogs sitting on our balcony, stag beatles walking past our front door, and, occasionally, a spider or two trying to get inside.

Early on Saturday morning when Brian was doing something on the back balcony, he caught sight of this not-so-little guy:



Luckily, Brian made sure the eight-legged visitor stayed outside!

Wow - that looks huge. What was it about 10cm across? It looks at least that.

Brian estimates that it was 6 to 7 cm across. But when something like that is trying to squeeze through the kitchen door, it seems a lot bigger!
