the one thing we need to be really comfortable living where we are now with is to co-exist with bugs and crawlies here, especially spiders. as eastern melbourne is sited on fertile ground, these mostly harmless little creatures are found everywhere amidst plants and flowers. often times, they `got lost' and found their way into unfamiliar surroundings like our home. so far, i have told everyone that instead of instinctively squashing them, we should just lure them on a piece of paper, take them out of the house and let them go back to familiar territory.
sometimes when i hear an occasional shriek (not necessarily my kids), i will just put on my superhero outfit and `rescue' these bugs from extinction around our place by releasing them back into our garden.
so far, i have not problem with them all, except for this one in the picture that got me taken slightly aback. i found this in the gardening shed where this `little' spider measures about 4-5cm in length. this one, i hope will never find its way to our home.
