Spider forces family out of home

A soldier's family have been frightened out of their home by a spider thought to have been brought to Essex from Afghanistan in a kitbag.

Lorraine Griffiths and her three children have moved out of their house in Colchester, the RSPCA said.

They are refusing to return until the large sandy-coloured creature, thought to be a camel spider, is captured.

An RSPCA spokeswoman confirmed they had visited the house but failed to locate the creature.

"If it is the spider they believe it is, then normally they don't attack humans, but they could give a painful bite," the spokeswoman said.

Mrs Griffiths believes the spider got to the UK in a kitbag brought home in June by her husband, Rodney, 32, when he returned from Afghanistan.

He is now back there on a further tour of duty.

She said the spider was seen in her bedroom by her two elder children, aged 18 and 16, and an electrician working at their home.

"They identified the spider using the internet," she said.

Nice. I think even I might have a problem catching this one with a glass and bit of paper...

I actually though Camel Spiders were supposed to be fake. I remember a picture of one doing the rounds that was about the size of a dog. I'm a little disappointed that they are actually much smaller.

Also, Tragic is going to gooseberry fool himself, both from the picture and the thought that one of those is in his room.

I heard there is meant to be a bunch of these around the Leicester area, brought back the same way from Afghanistan.

One of those in your bedroom would make for a pretty epic penisspider.

Two of them are antennae, according to Wiki.

With global warming being the way it is, they might just set up permanent residence here. :cry:

Did they really need to move out of their house? I mean, I hate spiders, but I'm not sure even that would be enough to drive me from my home.

Saw this in the metro this monring, they had a really creepy side on pic of it. I'm normally okay with spiders and such but this is a really horrible looking thing. Apparently it posioned their dog too, the dog had to be put down a few days after confronting the spider in the kids bedroom.
