New Zealand, we need a chat.
If you decide to have a harmless spider (tunnel web) that looks EXACTLY like the world's most aggressive and poisonous spider (funnel web), please don't make fun of the hapless Australian who has a bit of a conniption on spotting one in their loo.My neighbour is still laughing.
Spider has been yeeted and was last seen very alive, scuttling beneath our decking to search somewhere else for his future ladylove.
Meanwhile, I'm having a calm-down cup of tea and a biscuit.
I could HEAR ITS FOOTFALLS ON THE TOILET SEAT! (Before I sat down)There will be no pictures. Just imagine. And then stop imagining and go look at some fluffy bunnies or some happy birds or something. A bunny cleanse. It's now a thing.
*Okay, I have been informed by my lovely partner that they don't look QUITE identical... But he was not the person about to have a spider unintentionally applied to their undercarriage, so my case still stands.
Poisonous or not, any spider you can hear walking towards you is worthy of a complete freakout. I applaud your ability to remove it rather than squash it. Very brave.

@ForgottenHero18 @georgepenney
LOL great story!
-
@ForgottenHero18 @georgepenney Worth the experience to tell the tale for the remainder of your life?
-
@ForgottenHero18 @georgepenney Maybe not very unusual -- it all depends on the storyteller. You spin a great yarn, and so it might seem more unusual than if a boring person told the tale.
-
@georgepenney thank you for no pictures. But believe me I am picturing it!
@grizolda @georgepenney I have a picture of a knobbled orbweaver from February but I'll keep it to myself...
