A Spyder Invasion...

More than twenty Spyders from the Auckland area shook off the cobwebs and meandered down to Miranda on Saturday...
They stopped by en route to a lunch stop at Kaiaua's World Famous Fish and Chip Shop.
Not all spyders have lots of legs though.
Trish has only one but she spins a good yarn as she tells how she lost a leg in a motorcycle accident in 2008.
Now she straps her prosthesis and wheelchair on the pillion seat and she's off for another enjoyable day with her friends.
I took one of these beasties for a test drive.
It was great fun.
It would be easy to be bitten by this bug.
Imagine towing a little Tear-Drop style Caravan behind...
