Huntsman Spider
This impressive specimen was on my verandah one night attending to the flies which had gathered around a porchlight, and I took the opportunity to take a snap. I tried waiting for an opportunity to get the spider with a fly, but as soon as he/she got one, the spider would run off into a corner to eat it in peace.

 * Support. Very nice shot. -- Chris 73 Talk 11:17, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. That thing is creepy. How big is it, actually? Junes 11:35, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I didn't actually go up with a ruler to measure the spider, as I didn't fancy getting bitten, but it was at least 10cm from leg to leg --Fir0002 23:16, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Brrr... I support the unscaled version, though. Junes 09:11, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support -- Nothing in the world would get me this close to a huntsman spider, except this photo. - Longhair | Talk 15:23, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I was really hoping he wouldn't jump up at the annoying thing flashing at his/her face!!! --Fir0002 23:16, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Ugh... I hate spiders.... Opp...... Oppo......... fine, Support.  (Can you please put some sort of copyright tag on the image?) -- BRIAN 0918   16:09, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support the unscaled version. -- BRIAN 0918  06:43, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. (Besides the copyright tag, could I trouble you to upload it at Image:Huntsman spider.jpg or something similar?  "Huntsmen spider" makes me twitch.) &mdash;Korath (Talk) 16:49, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. --Fir0002 23:16, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Ughh. Horrible. Support!--Deglr6328 18:08, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. While a fascinating and clear image, provides no idea of how big the thing is.  Not that I want to know.  :P &rarr;mathx314(talk)(email) 20:31, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I hope you like the scaled version, its probably not 100% accurate, but it is very close. Leaned to slightly underestimate the size of the spider, rather than over estimating. --Fir0002 23:16, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I support the scaled version, but not the unscaled. &rarr;mathx314(talk)(email) 22:27, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Support the version without the scale - the slant is great and the image is striking. The size of the spider belongs in the article, not necessarily the picture. --Spangineer &#8734; 21:23, Mar 13, 2005 (UTC)
