Orright. if you are squeamish, or currently eating an omlette , dont look down...


Ok... bad for a detailing thread, but i live (and park my car in my driveway) under some of the tallest trees in the lower Hornsby Shire

And any one that knows Sydney knows that he lower Hornsby Shire grows Sydney's juciest spiders.... Including some rather large Golden Orb specimens…

I don’t know if you had heard about the recent sightings of snake and bird eating spiders in oz… here is a link and a look at a live specimen chewing on a bird. Now this is the biggest cairns version, but I still get them big.

Spider eats bird- Local Cairns News | cairns.com.au

You will notice it has a massive opsisthoso, opsisthomi…. it has a huge silvery a$$...

Anyhow, I walked out on Sunday and found this disaster on my car… I could not work it out at first, I thought a spider had tried to bench press a birds egg, toppled out of a nest and rode the egg all the way to my car where it splattered into a two foot radius of yolk…

Then I realised there was no eggshell, nor eggwhite, and I saw the flaky silvery remains of its butt shell…

That is right, a giant Orb Spider fell out of a tree and landed a$$ first on my car and exploded… then baked in the morning sun sinking into its own goop…. got the hose out, nuffink, tried a sponge… nuffink, I had to sacrifice a pristine new bug-shifter sponge… and a LOT of elbow grease

Anyhow... enjoy

Lucky this aint a smelloblogg is all I can say.
