I think its time to do a ground based inspection, clear away loose leaves, spray outdoor spider repellant before I attempt a life thratening imaging session!

It must be that time of year for funnel web mating!

I'd rather have clouds than funnelwebs! Melbourne is not so bad after all.

Huntsman spiders are ok, at least they won't kill you.
