What the fuck is this thing??
 

Did it escape from that fucking planet in Alien or something?

Jesus...someone tell me it's fake. And if it's real then it what country this is. So i can make sure never to go there.

We have them in Australia.....

Yeah, ofcourse, Australia. Could've guessed that. Everything that is uber poisonous and evil lives in Australia.

the only thing good about that over the ones in Florida is you see that fucking thing and have no surprises lol. It looks like it has legs over a foot long haha fucking crazy

God I hate spiders! Give me an anaconda any day!

Fuckin' A batman! :helpme:Oh crap

:1orglaugh

Check out funnel web and red back. The huntsman is a pussy venom wise compared to them :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

What an idiot!

Everything in Australia wants to kill you. Why would anyone ever want to go there? There's a reason Australia used to be a British penal colony - the British never expected anyone to survive.

red back? how isn't that a black widow lol

I think the picture is a little deceptive, at first I thought the thing was about 2 feet long as well, then I noticed, that's not a door on the side, it's a bathroom window, and the frames on them are about 1.5" square, I believe the plywood stop at the top of the window is about 4" square, which would make the spider about 12" to 13" total in length. Still would be 3 times the size of any spider I have ever seen, but not as big as it looks when you first glance at it.

According to wikipedia, they are a form of 'widow' spider.

Thats some creepy shit!

It's like a small dog.... damn.

Haha wtf!

haha wow i didn't realize they're all over the world.. it's one of the most dangerous around here

up there with grizzlies lol

Nah neither did I, pretty amazing that such a small thing can do so much damage.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the pic of that massive spider :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Loved that pic Courtney :1orglaugh:thumbsup

Real spider! http://www.hoax-slayer.com/giant-spi...nchester.shtml

Indeed, made me laugh :1orglaugh

The first time i seen a huntsman on the curtains me and my dad ran around the house screaming
why do they pop out on you

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Mum does the same thing.

I have no idea how they just seem to appear, especially since they are such big bastards!

I have had a few in my car under the sun visor and that is never fun (oh it's sunny let me put my sun visor down da fuck is that..... ) - great way to test your brakes and how quick you can jump out of your car though :thumbsup

My hart rate increased reading that wow i think i would jump out

I had a huntsman living in my car for a while... saw it run over my roof and squeeze through a tiny gap into the boot, then disappeared into the upper body. A few months later it (or another one) scurried across the driver's seat as I opened the door and was about to sit down. That time I managed to grab it and put it outside. :1orglaugh

Holy fuck!

No way i would sit in that car anymore.

It has a huge vagina.

fuck spiders..

hold on a second.... you "grabbed" it?? with bare hands?? or do you keep industrial strength shoulder length gloves on hand at all times for this type of situation??

$100 says I'm not the only one who just looked up at their ceiling and checked all the corners.

Same thing happened to me recently, thankfully I was just about to start driving as I saw it and it ran into the door crack. They are big and damn fast.

The golden orb spiders are the ones I hate, I got bitten on the face about 6 months ago, swelled up around the eye for a few days and had a red bite spot for about 4 weeks after that.

I'm so happy we don't have spiders here which can get through your skin.

:1orglaugh I'd shit myself at a spider that big. They don't usually bother me, but that definately would!

goosebumps ,

i couldn't live with that around!

I have a heap of them in my garden and the ones that wrap themselves up in leaves. Fuckers build spider webs over my driveway each night so when I go out to my car in the morning - bang spiderweb in the face if I forget to put my arm out and clear them away.

Have not been bitten yet *knock on wood*

@ Franck, last week I was putting on a t-shirt from my closet and I felt something moving on my back so shook the t-shirt and a big black spider fell out and he now live inside my vacuum cleaner along with a few nails and anything else sharp that were sent down after him :winkwink:

Huntsmans are scary looking but fairly harmless and shy. It takes a lot of provocation for them to bite you and when they do it's not dangerous. They do move FAST though, so I wouldn't try picking them up. In this case it had wrapped itself around a sandwich bag, so I just picked up the bag and dropped it onto the road. My fingertips were half an inch from those hairy legs. :pimp
