Spider

Yesterday the grandchildren were over for Anne's birthday and were checking out the root cellar. Their mother noticed a spider's nest on the inside of the door that created a bit of stir with them all.   It looks like a huntsman to me and is considered to be non toxic. Overall length of the spider is about 50mm.  I have left it alone and will have  to leave the door open when the young spiders hatch so they can escape to other parts of the garden.


Here's a photo of the root cellar door -  the structure has been constructed to look like an old mine entry thus the crudely painted "warning" on the door.
