I couldn't resist this story from The Canberra Times.
It appears that Australian National University scientists have discovered a possible new species of funnel-web spider dwelling near Jervis Bay.
Biologists uncovered the unusually large specimen of the spider's tree-dwelling genus Hadronyche while canvassing Booderee National Park.
The 50-millimetre female was burrowed inside a rotting log in a silk-lined nest up to two metres long. That's quite a spider! Something else to look out for in the bush!
