Many years ago the RH altimeter remained static after take-off from Nairobi in a Hastings. Close inspection revealed a largish spider clinging to both needles. Around 10000 feet the spider's grip was overcome by torque and the needles span round to our cruising altitude, chopping the poor creature into many pieces. Carnage on the flight deck.
