Amusingly enough, here is the original post of the spider I did:

<Sigh> A few nights ago I was returning home from a short drive.
As I went to open the car door, I just happened to notice
a spider (about the size of my hand!) on the drivers

<note: It was the size of my outstretched hand, not
something wimpy like the size of my fist!>

side window. ummm on the INSIDE of the window about 25 cm's away
from my head and roughly eye level. This was mildly surprising
to say the least!

I recognized it as a Huntsman, but that was about as much as
I knew. So I veeeeeeery gently opened the door and let it out.

It turns out that Huntsman aren't lethal, but have a nasty bite and
apparently like to jump. I'm glad I didn't know this at the time ;)

That was my inspiration for tonights picture

           ____                      ,
          /---.'.__             ____//
               '--.\           /.---'
          _______  \\         //

        //     \ \_\/" ' ~\-'.-'    \\
       //       '-._| :H: |'-.__     \\
      //           (/'==='\)'-._\     ||
      ||                        \\    \|
      ||                         \\    '
snd   |/                          \\
                                   ||
                                   ||
                                   \\
                                    '

And I think it had only three legs on one side,
if anyone noticed. If anyone wants to add a fourth
leg, feel free too. But I think the left set of
legs will need to be re-arranged.
