I saw one of these spider on TV last night. David Attenborough said 'sometimes eats small birds'. Having already seen this pics I thought 'yeah, right.' Death by spider must be one of the worst ways to go...

Holy crap. That's some web to catch and hold a finch. Spider is quite scary looking.

The problem with Golden Orb spiders is that they are so large that, when crossing the bedroom ceiling, they sometimes suddenly fall off. Especially at night.

"If they can get near him, grab him by the tail and drop him into a pillow case..." Kit, you hold the pillow case, I'll grab him by the tail! I'll try not to drop him on his head. Again.
