Ag nee man, dis mos klein pieperige ou spinnekoppetjies daai.

Kom na Afrika toe dan wys ons vir jou hoe lyk 'n egte groot spinnekop!

[Klier can translate this probably...]

Dude, you should see the 12 cm leg-span Rain Spiders in my house!

Well, I've always liked the fact that there aren't any really dangerous critters up here...

This is the African Huntsman or Rain Spider:





Members of the Sparassidae family can be quite intimidating - when threatened they rear up and expose their very large fangs - but are actually harmless. They are common throughout rural and urbanised Southern Africa.

Euchh.

The raft spider, which is the biggest spider we've got here, is big enough for me, thank you very much...

Apparently its bite hurts about as much as a wasp sting, they've never bitten me though.
