Giant spider snapped eating bird

THIS amazing image of a mammoth spider devouring a bird was taken in the backyard of a property near Cairns.
The image, which is being cirulated via email worldwide, is real, according to wildlife experts, The Cairns Post reported.

The photo, believed to have been taken earlier this week, shows the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web at a property near Atherton, west of Cairns.

and they make such pretty webs

Well, being arachnophobic, I had already decided to not go and live in Oz, but now I will never even visit the place !!!
(unless I have a full-on haz-mat suit made of impenetrable material, 24/7...)

That spider does not have a dangerous venom, and they make very nice looking webs.
So its ok for you to pat them
