A fairly large huntsman spider, almost the size of my hand. Caught with a tupperware container and released on a tree in a nearby park.

Huntsman are big and fast but harmless, I love having them around because they are particularly good at hunting cockroaches.

They can bite and it’s similar to a bee sting but I let them run up my arm and never been bitten.
