A spider in a zoologist’s back garden in Scotland could become the world’s
largest. Robert Bustard from Perthshire has a two-year old Goliath bird-eating
spider that he says will soon outgrow the current record holder, a 122-gram
spider of the same species found in Surinam in 1985. Bustard keeps thousands of
spiders in temperature-controlled outhouses, and breeds more than 19 000
crickets a week to feed them.
