    Huntsman spiders are disgustingly large. Thanks for the reminder to never step foot into Australia.

      They’re the friendliest ones.

      I have stopped and set fire to three redback nests this week, but there’s a huntsman happily living in my garage right now who isn’t going to harm anyone.

        I have let huntsman live in my house all my time in Oz! Only rules of engagement are not in the bedroom and stay high up on the wall/ceiling (they do that anyway). I’ve shared my living room with some of them for months at a time, they love watching movie with us.

        Now we have infants around. Unfortunately when found inside they get humanly captured and released in the backyard.
