Which is actually a Huntsman; giant crab is a nickname.

It’s a kindling spider because that tent and the general area is going UP IN FLAMES, probably along with all my camping gear because there is no friggin way I am communing with nature with those bastards dropping by for a spot of tea. I am sure you would be able to see the firestorm as surely CNN or Fox would cover it. GAHHHHB I hate spiders/Scorpions!!!! Snakes, no problem, spiders……..I never liked that tent or camping area much anyway.

You guys are disappointing me. Where is the SF attention to detail?

Everyone knows that there are 18 screen holes per inch on regulation tent netting!

Actually, I did not know that about tent screens, so "everyone" obviously doesn't know it.

Hello all!

Thank you for your replies. I have definitely had a laugh from a few of them. I will link my friend to this thread. Again, thanks for the insight.

but did we actually, positively identify the spider, or just the screen count?

Ipso facto, this spider is big enough to cover the palm of the average human being.

Soooo... what you're saying is,

Right?

I am required by mechanical engineering policy MEP 12.3-A7 to use extensive and overly complex terms to say what normal people do with a few syllables.
