Don't have too; this crazy story's worth sharing all over Sallyanne.

I cannot compete with Sallyanne's news photo, but this one is from our front lawn ...

... maybe we have a new type of tourist attraction!

Some tie ago I told Molly about Speedy (my pet huntsman spider that lives in the house), who liked to sit on my keyboard and screen of my laptop and slowed down my typing until I taped him out of the way, she thinks I'm crazy :rofl

I still do Graechan but you are still sweet.
OMG, is that really cobwebs? Maybe Graechans pet went all the way from The Southern part of Australia up to
Sydney and did that to your lawn.

Molly - yes they are really cobwebs on one part of the lawn; other parts had similar coverings.

Re Graechan sending spiders to us, not a problem except NO FUNNEL WEB spiders thank you!

I hate spiders, so glad we aren't overrun with those little monsters.

Only happens certain times of the year. And with my picture it was spiders coming up from under the ground after the area had been flooded (which is why you see webs all over the foliage on the ground.

Yeah in the rainy season you can find various pests in your backyard and even in homes. So it is necessary to have proper inspection pest management right after the rainy season. I suggest hiring services of Termite inspection. Their pest controllers are quite responsible towards their work.

Sorry, had to delete the name of the company as it could be construed as spam. I know you are not a spammer and were only trying to be helpful. - O (Admin)

Although, huntsman spiders scare the "siit" out of people they are really not so bad.My wife wants me to kill all of them and I agree when they reach 4-5 inches across they look menacing on the wall. But when they appear on the windscreen when you are driving it can cause distraction. I have caught them in my hands and released them in the backyard. Sometimes, I just spray them. I have a Resident Huntsman in my car and every so often it appears coming out of vents onto the windscreen. I ignore it .
