Edited to add there is a pic of a rather large spider on this news story, just to warn you.

Sometimes the BBC's reporting has me in stitches, cheers up a Thursday afternoon after sorting out over 100 survey photos!!

This same story is covered on Sky News but reports that the family's dog has died after being bitten by this spider Sad

Very odd as solifuge's aren't venomous, I wonder how that happened?? We used to have them in Botswana, they run fast and have big fangs, but don't have venom sacs, and I never saw one using the internet either!

Somebody responded to the Sky version saying it was sensationalism as they aren`t poisonous, could be shock that killed the dog or maybe it had something else wrong with it and it was easy to say the spider did it.
