HOLY MOLY! That's a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anything you can do to avoid getting these mammoths...and don't say "don't emigrate ???
That's the human doing that, not the spider! (I know, I know, I grew up around a mother who freaked out at spiders. She says I used to say, 'Don't be frightened, Mummy,' as I took them out. My children aren't as bad as her, though not exactly keen, so I'm pleased to say my granddaughter doesn't take after her Dad in this. )
You could move to the South Island. Amongst its many other attractions it has hardly any spiders of note. Certainly never seen or heard of whitetails.
Oh my word - that HUGE spider! I love Landcare Research's description: The first reaction of most people on finding Avondale spiders is usually horror. The spiders move very fast when disturbed (as do people when frightened!)
I LOVE spiders!!!
I hate spiders!!!!
