Around 200 baby spiders have already been released at the RSPB's Strumpshaw Fen reserve near Norwich.
Ecologist Dr Helen Smith said: 'Most invertebrate groups don't receive a lot of conservation effort.
'The ones that tend to receive the attention are the big and spectacular ones ... this is very much the case with great raft spiders.
'They're big, they're beautiful and they have to fly the flag for other species.'

No shit.

Fuck that.

They are listed as vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List, primarily due to habitat loss. They are not very adaptable.
While they are not poisonous to humans, their bites can be painful.*



The Goliath bird-eating spiders have urticating hairs that can even be harmful to humans, and are considered by some to be the most harmful tarantula urticating hair of all.

I cringed a little when I read the title and now my butthole is puckering uncontrollably out of fear. Thank you for the nightmare fuel. Asshole.

When those fuckers grow to such out of control massiveness, they are eating whales, we will rue this day.

I read this as "Giant flesh eating spiders being reintroduced into the wild". I have to say, I'm somewhat disappointed now.

Sounds cool to me. But then, I'm all for them breeding a lot of tigers, grizzlies, mountain lions, and other larger predators to turn loose in cities. Mankind needs something to cull the herd...

When it comes to spiders, big AND beautiful shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
