A soldier's family have been scared out of their own home by a dangerous spider who bit their pet dog to death.
The Griffiths are fighting the war at home against the giant arachnid, who was unwittingly transported back from Afghanistan in paratrooper Rodney's luggage.
They have already lost their beloved eight-year-old dog, Bella, to the camel spider.
The family pet had to be put down after being bitten by the venomous attacker.
Lorraine Griffiths and her three children, aged 18, 16 and four, have been forced to leave their family home in Colchester, Essex.
They are now refusing to return to the property until the killer spider is captured by the RSPCA.

Why don’t they just shoot it with a pellet or dart gun, or maybe stab it with a kitchen knife?
Oh, that’s right, it’s England.

How does one unwittingly trasnport a giant spider? The pictures of camel spiders which I’ve seen makes me think that they can’t exactly hide in a pair of rolled up socks.

That is one nasty looking spider. I don't blame them for leaving. I would too.

I would seem to me that it would be rather difficult not to see one of these in your luggage when you unpacked at home.

Fake pic, actual camal spiders are 6 inches and under (still big) but small enough to hide...
