Bird Eating Spider

It may be a bit ambitious to call this spider a ‘Bird Eating Spider’ but that’s what the locals like to call it. These yellow and black beasties are pretty common and they spin huge webs. Their bite wont kill you but will give you a nasty sting, so best to keep your distance.

  • Just killed one in the bathroom of our resort on Koh Mok. Smart and crafty: it found a new spot while I was looking for the broom.

    Fun

  • I hate those little lizard lookin things. Has 2 of them land on me my first trip there. Once at the bar once while laying in bed. Freaked me out.
