Hi everyone
I'm doing a book where a spider is in the plot...and it's based in Singapore. Now, I don't want to go over the top and tell lies in the book, but I seem to remember great hairy bloody things when I was there. (And that was just the men...hahaha....) No, seriously, when we lived near HV we had a couple that were bigger than my hand...my hand normal girl size.
Am I remembering wrongly here? Did I make it up? I don't think so.
Anyway, what I'm asking is, has anyone seen biggies like this there? And what would be the likely sort of spider I'd have seen? Lived near greenery, ground floor, but also saw big ones in third floor apartment.
I looked on Google and got a huge list of sorts....much too difficult to go through as to be honest I was too scared of these monsters to look closely to see if they had stripes, or what colour they were. My poor little maid was my heroine, the darling caught them for me, even though she was not keen. One spider was so big she called in a couple of other maids to help her keep her nerve up, so, I can't have imagined it.
The story has to run true otherwise kids pick up on it right away, and lots of them are brainboxes who will be at the internet right away, checking up on me.
Even if you don't know the scientific name, please tell me if there are large creepies like this, and I'm not going mad.
Ta
Bubbs.
