30cm, fast and venomous with it... Bad enough being bitten by ants

This is serious. How many of them have already been imported into the UK already and have escaped unnoticed. ?

Send it to Rwanda

I imagine they're all smuggled into the country hiding in Japanese knotweed shipments.

andres, I think they are putting them up in a Glasgow B&B!

Why would anyone in this country want Japanese Knotweed shipments? We have problems with Hogweed as it is.

When I find a Spider in the house I am reassured that they can't be dangerous - now I will not be so sure.

The young lad at the back of my profile pic used to bring me Spiders as a gift - he used to eat them though! :-)

UK indigenous spiders are mostly harmless they are our friends living out of sight for the most part and eating all manner of nasties.

For the life of me I cannot imagine why anyone would call out the SPCA to collect this specimen. So much for Customs searches!
