Jesus Christ I couldn't imagine living somewhere where I could wake up and see that on the wall...

nice try,huntsman spider!

One thing about a huntsman, you can unload a whole can of insect spray on one and it will still jump at you!

If you want to kill one be prepared to whack it with your shoes.

To me that looks an awful lot like the camel spider, commonly found in the middle east.

It's a huntsman

That motherfucker would be out of my house escorted by whatever shell gets hastily slammed into the 12 gauge. I'll happily spend the next 6 hours patching the fucking hole in the wall.

Seriously, thanks for that, I needed a laugh like that!

Fuck the shotgun. I'd throw a grenade. Actually, make that a sticky grenade like a Semtex on Call of Duty.:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I don't know, these guys look worse to me, however, they are reported to be harmless, yet have been known to bite humans. They look like something totally out of a sci-fi flic.

Hell... maybe they taste like crab legs? Grab a pot, melt some butter and squeeze some lemons!

I was in a swimming pool in Cairns and one of those fuckers got in the pool with me.

I swear to god the thing skated across the water towards my face - I flew out of that water.

I'm a big guy but I managed to flap my arms and fly...

There was a big huntsman sitting on a wall adjacent to the entry walkway of a weekender house I'd just driven an hour to get to. My wife refused to enter the property and wanted to go home. It was 10 fucking pm and I was tired. After a bit of arguing (I refused to kill it) we managed to reach a compromise: I covered her view of it with a magazine as she walked past. It was gone by the next morning... to where, nobody knows. <spooky music>

:1orglaugh check under your bed.

Holy fucking shit!!!!
I hate spiders, almost crashed my car in Florida when I put down the sun visor and a huge spider started running around the car's ceiling!

even more fucked lol

Just reading the replies in this thread never mind the pics has made me shit my pants!

Spiders are my biggest fear. Have been for years. Can't see it changing anytime soon...

Yes, it does look like it is from an alien planet. You haven?t seen all the creatures on earth. Probably you will see more new aliens.

amazing how common arachnophobia is - not saying i like them but they don't freak me out that much. i've never been in the same room as any spider anywhere near as big as a huntsman or camel spider tho.

I still remember when they filmed the movie Arachnaphobia. It was right near my house in a little town called Cambria. The whole town was spider crazy for awhile.
