The Fen Raft Spider is roughly the size of an adult male’s hand, and can spin webs as big as pizzas (25cm).
They are also semi-aquatic and can run across the water’s surface to capture their prey.
reintroducing wolves and bears is too radical, but fecking giant spiders is okay?
If they’re calling 25cm the size of a pizza… I’m doubting the rest. Size of an adult male’s hand? I’m small, and being generous, the width of my palm is 90cm.
from Wiki:
Adult females can have bodies of slightly over 20mm in length with a span of 70mm including their legs.
That’s the size of the largest banana spiders I’ve seen. In FLORIDA.
Incredible palm game.
As long as they’re not inside my house, (and if they were, I would take them outside) I’d say it’s fine. They deserve somewhere nice to live (as long as it isn’t. inside my house)
