An intruder in the bathroom...

            Huntsman Sipder (Heteropoda venatoria)...

Imagine yourself in an idyllic hut in the middle of a rainforest... you had a wonderful day photographing the beautiful nature of the place. After dinner, you go to the bathroom and when you're sitting in the toilet you look straight ahead and, just over a meter away, you see this huge comrade, installed on the wall behind the sink... I don't need to say that, being in Australia, famous for its poisonous spiders, I panicked and ran to the phone asking for help ... I didn't even remember to photograph the spider on the wall, which was a shame, because in this picture, it doesn't look as big as it really was...  the hands belong to the owner of the place :)))
During the three months I spent in Australia, I caught three big scares with spiders invading my room, two of this species and another one, smaller...
The two Huntsman spiders have been safely returned to nature...
 I don't know why, they always preferred the bathroom to take shelter :)
