how tf do you even handle that? It’s basically as big as a rat with 8 legs and can climb walls, I just don’t know what I’d do *shudders*

that’s just a huntsman, totally harmless unless it’s mating season and they attach themselves to your face to lay eggs in your stomach

I think it’s a six leg frog

I usually relocate Huntsmen out side but I don’t have a van big enough for this lady.

I’ve never been to Australia. I want to travel to Australia and visit so badly and I’d even enjoy hunting for Huntsmen Spiders over there.

I grew up in Florida and have seen a couple of huntmans. I’ve seen small ones with glowing eyes the grass to pretty big ones, a bit smaller than the one in the video. They dont really do anything to us but if one was in my house id probably move out

She’s a beauty!
Tbh though, as a lifetime resident of Australia, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that big
I love how they’re flies(?) just buzzing around it, and it ignores them.
*I’m hunting something…. bigger.*

My first day in australia, there was a bag of chips (crisps for you aussie types) sitting on the coffee table. I was in the other room and heard the bag crinkling and thought the dogs were getting into it. Nope, just a big ass spider walking on it.
Flipped out because I didn’t do my research apparently and wasn’t aware these were actually the size of a small cat so I got my stepdad to come out and kill it.
He says “Mate, that’s a friend. We don’t kill them, we place them outside.” and he hands me a dustpan to scoop it up and take it outside in…
I’m back in the US now.

It might be an idea to slap an NSFW on that for the sake of arachnophobes.

Poor guy has zero interest in being around humans yet we make him out to be a villain. Sad.

It’s just a Huntsman. They’re timid, nocturnal and reclusive, just like a reddit user. They only bite if provoked and their venom is milder than a bee sting, also just like a reddit user. And they are also larger than average for their species, also just like a reddit user.

I’ve seen huntsmen that size in Arizona.
I’m not overly afraid of spiders, but that’s unsettling
Oh that’s just Fred..he pays rent by eating mosquitos, roaches and flies.
Is that a ‘face hugger’ from the Alien film?
Spiders that size are why god invented telephone directories /s
Look it’s a dog!
Careful they can jump 😀
Go there, you’ll love it. But not as much as the flying foxes love eating spider killing frogs.
5$ if you touch it
It’s said every time someone posts a shot of a Huntsman, but they’re harmless and they eat a shitload of house pests. You get used to them.

They’re so big they even have a health bar.
