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.
Nice one! I’m glad you put her in a safer spot.
Huntsmen are a bit less scary if you think of their feet as clown shoes.
Huntsman don’t scare me at all but my mrs isn’t quite as nonchalant about them.
When catching it my biggest concern was squishing legs… they can move fast and make it difficult to catch cleanly.
I thought I was not afraid of spider. Tiens out, I just don’t live in the right country for it.
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.
Oh… So they are like the bumblebee of the spiders.
That is a nice spider.
