Haha - Though they sound like "mouse eating spiders", they are far from that, being only about 2 to 3 cm across (less than 2 inches). And they look quite cute

Haha - Though they sound like "mouse eating spiders", they are far from that, being only about 2 to 3 cm across (less than 2 inches). And they look quite cute to boot, apart from those huge pincers. [0] They tend to burrow and hide in garden beds etc. and avoid humans where possible, but often during their mating season, or after we have dug up a garden bed to plant new stuff, we see the odd one on the driveway or in the carport. As long as you can see and avoid, it is all good, and worst case, if they give you a nasty bite, it will be painful, and may make you sick for a day, rather than fatal.
