This is Zorgon. He is a horny little spider that I found when he was trying to crawl up my pants. I have no idea what he eats or what type of spider he is.

You know when you were a kid, and you drew an animal but it was a killer, like a spider with ****ing spikes on its back. This is it.

So far I have found that he likes photography but not being photographed cause he kept ****ing running away and he is fast like sonic. Here is an action shot where he is base jumping

Haha base jumping!  There are probably 3-5 of those little guys around the outside of my house right now.  Their webs are always in the worst places  :confused:

I am a ***** when it comes to spiders. This is the creepiest spider I've seen I am never going to Australia(I am assuming it comes from there.)

I've seen these in South Florida. We call them star spiders. There are plenty of reasons to avoid Florida; this is just another one.  :))

I think I saw an Australian Tunneling spider in an attic in Central Florida. Those little guys know how to get around!

Must have tunnelled all the way through the planet!  Determined little bugger they are, some times.
