Whatcha got in the jar Kaz ?

First, some information.....

You got that didn't you??? Fatal to dogs and cats within an hour !!

Here is a picture of one - Noice!!

and here is a BABY one I prepared earlier !!

This wee specimen was discovered IN OUR BEDROOM !!

(It looked exactly like the photo, but has gone dark due to it now swimming in metho)

Knowing it wasn't a huntsman, brave Kaz perched "spidergirl like" on the bed, one hand on the wall and lowered the bug catcher over it - it proceeded to rear up on it's back legs and attack the container, I could hear its fangs scraping it - eeeewww! At first I thought it was a funnel web, thankfully not!! Still very nasty though and what the hell is it doing in our room????

The pest control people are arriving tomorrow and will spray the entire house inside and out, thank goodness I found it and not Kylin or the animals, if it could kill a dog, I'm sure it could have killed him too. - Very scary!!

(As most of you know I'm a catch and release person, I don't normally kill spiders, hence owning a bug catcher. The pest people wanted me to keep it, but also it was dying of starvation, which is probably what caused it to wander out of it's hidey hole in the first place - so I euthanised it humanely to put it out of it's misery - otherwise I would have given it to Shane to release into the rainforest.)
