Bigass huntsman hiding in a mop bucket I left out to dry. I threw that bucket and screamed. Came back with a bottle of raid and sprayed that fucker and left it’s body in the garden. I could still see the body from the 2nd floor so I went back and threw the body over the fence.

Should have just left it alone or remove it. Their diet consists primarily of insects.iluvu wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 10:21 am Bigass huntsman hiding in a mop bucket I left out to dry.

Au contraire (sort of), I think the huntsman is #1 in the list for causes of death in Australia. Mainly as they like to sit in the sun-visor of cars, and the driver unwittingly tilts it downwards when driving towards the sun, giant bloody spider drops in their lap, driver loses control of vehicle ...
Calling Bruce Irwin, Aussie myth, or true story cobber?

But whilst on freaky spider stories & a bit closer to home..
I was cooking at a barbeque in the dark up at vKirirom resort a few weeks back & my beer-man spotted a spider trotting quite happily over towards the warmth. Turns out it was a tarantula, and the damn thing moved a LOT quicker than I thought having seen the big hairy red/black ones on TV back in the UK. Luckily we were armed with a couple of Khmer grandmas, one pinch of the barbeque tongs and that fellow had a chance of being barbequed Khmer style, but ultimately ended up in the rubbish bin (with lid) for the night ... now I think about it, I don't know who let him out the next day!

Not true. Redback and Funnel-web Spiders are highly venomous and have caused fatalities in the past but none since 1979 when effective anti-venoms were introduced.
