I think getting killed off of LOST has really affected Dominic Monaghan. He misses the jungle! The risk! The danger lurking around every turn (and the First Aid guy walking behind him). Looks like he’s got himself a crew and they are heading off to Africa to find the world’s largest spider.
You.
Couldn’t.
Pay.
Me.
“I’m going there, hopefully with a crew of people, to catch the largest spider on the planet. It’s called the Hercules Baboon Spider.
“There’s one specimen of it in the Natural History Museum in London. It’s about 14 or 15 inches. There’s only one – they found it in the early 1900s in Nigeria… A biologist found that spider, put it in alcohol and that’s it, that’s all they have…
“This thing is way bigger than a dinner plate, and way bigger than anything else that’s out there right now. We don’t know how poisonous the spider is, we don’t know whether is jumps… It’s all unchartered territory. If we find it, we’ll be in the Guiness Book Of Records.”
In other news, that pictures is from Dominic’s new collection of photographs that will be on display in LA. To see the full set (including cast members of LOST), click here.

Meaghan, where are you? You have not seen Lost past season 2? What?
The spider thing sounds like a blast! I am scared of snakes, but spiders, nah! Sounds like an adventure!!!!
