i found a really huge tunnel web Porrhothele Antipodiana in the Waitakeres a few years ago , very big ,heavy bodied ,and the ranger came by , so i showed him what i had found , HE JUMPED A MILE , and was so SH*T scared , he wouldnt come near me. Bummer i didnt have my camera with me though.
Good to see there are other spider freaks out there.
