The tropics are known for large bugs-hornets, roaches, ants-they all seem to be on some kind of miracle grow hormone. Until now I have forgotten this is also true of spiders. I found this tarantula in my bedroom when staying in Vavuniya. Apparently he's a Sri Lankan ornamental tarantula nicknamed a 'Pokie'.
I have a new found appreciation of sleeping with a mosquito net in the security of knowing I will not wake to find this guy in my bed.
