Thanks: Gave 59, Got 231 | Gateway to Hell in garden...
Just after my close shave with death (please see thread about horrifc accident), I saw this demon from HellBoy II in my garden trying to run off with the shed...
Pics aren't particulary clear as I was trembling in fear and fighting the natural instinct to run... I was also debating introducing it to my 4lb club hammer or sledgehammer but I didn't want it to take them off me and use it against me...
The body is about 15mm long by 10mm wide and it had hairy knuckles...

Looks like blood splattered liberally around in the second photo.* Are all the neighbours accounted for or did the nasty spider make a snack of one of them before visiting you?
* or you may have red bricks under some peeling paint

That Giant Water Bug is a funny looking thing... I'm guessing by the name 'Toebiter' they can be quite vicious?

My old folks live in the countryside and my room was in the attic space there was this one wily old beast of a spider about the size of a mans palm I regularly used to grab him and run him downstairs to lob him outa the back door...
Everytime when I got back upstairs there he was already sat there grinning
used to wonder what he got upto when I was asleep
Hence the chastity belt scars I will live with forever more | |
