Heavy rains have pushed the creatures, one of which is seen above, from their natural habitat and into Bowen, according to a media report Wednesday The eastern tarantulas, which can grow larger than the palm of a man's hand, have inundated Bowen, which is about 700 miles northwest of Brisbane, according to Britain's Times Online. Skip over this content Over the past month, heavy rains have pushed the critters out of their natural habitat and into public spaces. "There have been a number of reports. It's not plague proportions but a number have been spotted around," Audy Geiszler, who runs Amalgamated Pest Control in the town, told the Times. One bite from the eastern tarantula, also known as the "whistling" or "barking" spider for the hissing noise it makes once aggravated, can kill a dog and make humans very sick.
