A spider which was thought to be the biggest in captivity in the UK has died at the age of 20.
Lucretia, a goliath birdeater tarantula, had been the star attraction at Stratford Butterfly Farm in Warwickshire until her recent demise.
She was 10in in diameter, about the size of a dinner plate, and originally came from Guyana in South America.
Her handler, Geordie Jackson, said staff were sad at Lucretia's death, but had found a replacement named Morticia.
