As far as we’ve been told, the spiders here in Fiji are not poisonous. That is a relief as many are quite large – some nearly as big as palm of your hand – and nasty looking. We seldom see them in the house, probably thanks to the geckos. They are certainly prevalent out in the surrounding landscape though, or up on the telephone lines, where the really big ones can be seen from 50 yards (62 m) away. Here are a few pics.

Not sure what's in that big wad; maybe someone's leg.
Interesting web
One of the big ones.
Deborah thinks this one looks like the almond mints you get at weddings. And yes, the web is yellow. Haven't seen that before.
Beautiful color on this one.
More nice color; looks irridescent in person.
