Yeah this is that spider that’s going to leap off the wall at me in that gif. No thanks!!!!
SoraHjort
I have such terrible luck with spiders. They love to come down off the ceiling, and right in front of my face between me and my monitor.
SoraHjort
Late at night, even.

If someone tries to rob the house I think that spider would be more effective than any other weapon.

This is the gif that ended my fear of jumping spiders.

I had a spider chilling in the corner of my bathroom for a couple months. It randomly disappeared and I'm sad thinking it's dead :<

BOOOOORIS THE SPIDERRRRRRR

Great way to repel friends and family from coming over!

Don't huntsman spiders also eat the more dangerous spiders?
heyAntonio
Yes they do.

Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, THAT.

Charlotte is large enough to be considered a tenant so she damn well better be paying rent like one
Iloveblackcats217
She's eating the bugs that's her payment
enchillita
1200 bugs a month.
Peachos
Aww what a cute fuck no they have themselves
HolyShitpicklesItsTuesday
huntsmans are spiderbros, very good plague control :)
BurnieCinders
It's a Huntsman, it's the Labrador of spiders.

Why is the house not a pile of ash?
SoDoneWithYourShite
Because if you are homeless in aus there are far scarier spiders outside...
Skevoid
Because EVERY house in Aus has huntsmen from time to time!
TemporaryJesusSauce
Because it's a common, harmless spider, and you would need a hermetically sealed house to keep it out.

Absolutely the fuck not

That happened to my family. Live in Aus. Had a friendly house huntsman.Went on holidays, came back to a ceiling covered in babies. Fun times
Starwulf99
How much did your new house cost?

Charlotte was an orb weaver!
FitzChevalric
tooomanystevesgotbanned
ONLY 15cm??? That's not 'giant', biggest huntsman I've seen was 20cm. Harmless, and eats bugs.
rulerofthedingdongs
I’m open minded and all, but Charlotte is going to fall off the wall onto my face while I’m sleeping and I’m going to pull a Jean Grey.

xUnrealRealityx
I’m somewhat uncomfortable around spiders, but I don’t mind the more docile ones like huntsman spiders and those little jumping spiders.
saltyPopcornkitty
It’s all fun and games until you wake up and it’s on the ceiling above you.
SovietSabre
Surely to fuck that isn't real. It's sat on the wall looking like a fucking clock. Please tell me that is a potato chop.
AgentPothead
Spiders are friends! They eat the bad bugs.
FlatPlutoSociety
I occasionally see house centipedes in my home. You know what I never see, though? Ants, termites, and house flies. It's a good arrangement.
greygoosery
I have centipedes in my house too. They live by the same rules as the spiders. If they can fight the cat they have to go. It’s not personal.
FlatPlutoSociety
Haha my dog loves to chase the centipedes. Turns out the bugs are quicker (and maybe smarter) than the dog.
leaderofthedamned
I live in an apartment, the spiders can stay as long as they pay their rent in a lack of pests and stay out of my bedroom.
MossyMoose
The big ones also habe a tendency to jump on your fuckin face at 2am so no thanks, they all die.
TiredSnowball
I just find it's terrifying that a 15cm spider has enough bugs to eat in ONE house.
Promethianfire
The average house has far more bugs in it than most folks realize
knotch2
I don't mind spiders on my weed when it's growing outdoors. But when i'm about to harvest outdoor bud, i fear them!
MrHobbes14
Huntsmans are good too, because they don't make a web. So you don't get cobwebs everywhere.
Hexo231
Are there really any bad bugs?
SteveTheEgg
Bed bugs. And if you use the term casually to mean all creepy crawlies, far more. Mosquitoes, yellowjackets, centipedes, scabies, lice, etc
StandBackSomeonesOffened
Yes but occasionally they are the bad bugs
kadaeux
For more information about the crack spiders bitch, contact the Canadian Wildlife Foundation
afambelafonte
Other bugs in the house are annoying. Spiders and bees are the only bugs in the house that scare the living shit out of me.
stophammertimebaratheon
What kind of a few bad apples don’t define the group logic is this?
Psionickitten
I took that as "even a good guest sometimes outstays their welcome." Not "Some guests are not good."
Mistruths
A few bad apples spoil the bunch. Literally. There's a reason it's an idiom.
StandBackSomeonesOffened
Its not? It’s a warning not all spiders are worth that trade. Some are more potent than any pest they might remove.
Myowngrampa
I heard black widows make nice pets
Sceoh
I've got one named Holly, and she's pretty chill.
StandBackSomeonesOffened
Through containment and conditioning many things otherwise out of reach become within grasp.
some1username
How? They only bite humans when they fell they're gonna get squashed, and spiders dont eat humans cuz they're too big. What makes them bad?
some1username
*feel*
dragonherder
I mean they will crawl onto your bed and bite you in your sleep or if you roam too close when walking so...
aerodynamit3
Arachnids are not bugs
StandBackSomeonesOffened
They’re both sharing an above category know as arthropods I don’t really feel the necessity to distinguish spiders from bugs
aerodynamit3
Arthropods include lobsters and crabs but you don't call them bugs. Arthropods are the largest taxonomic group of animals for fucks sake.
MrOsmo
Lobsters and crabs are bugs. Yall eat sea bugs and act like you fancy. I said it.
PreciousPotato
Currently, I got kind of an ecosystem in my flat. Sure got no troubles with flies and silverfish, since I allow spiders and some kind of /1
PreciousPotato
centipede to hunt them. Just glad those mini-centipedes are also shy as hell.
PreciousPotato
Oh, and there’s a mouse, too. For now, I decided to feed it, so it got no reason to even try to climb our cupboards.
MossyMoose
Okay but the mouse has plenty reason to shit and piss everywhere and ruin your lungs. And start a nest for 25 other mice. Kill it.
PreciousPotato
Yeah, sooner or later. For now, I still pity it, because it’s current home is cold, dark and moldy.
spookyhats
I'm cool the huntsman sider that live in my place, but our centipedes are a bit more intimidating.
spookyhats
ive seen them take down a small rat
PreciousPotato
Yeah, well, UGH!... there are limits. Thing is, my flat is Sousterrain - half above and half below the ground. Perfect for all kinds of /1
holdmyfingerandpullmybeer
These ones are the good boys and deserve a snoot-boop. They don't spin webs and they prey on flies, mosquitoes, other spiders. etc

Ive been trying to teach my son compassion, so I catch our spiders and put them outside. Freaks me out every time. But it's important
xuriV
my dad always squished spiders. somehow I grew up to catch and release.

Allycorinne
I have to take bugs outside esp spiders. Unless they are stink bugs, then I killlll bc they are invasive so bye bye bishhh
andBingowashisNameOh
That’s awesome but I’ve been told by an expert that there are indoor species who won’t survive outside. Sorry!
suffyr
Well it's either a that or a 0 chance of survival since I would smash them

Great but how is this news, half of Australia has that attitude towards huntsman spiders in their house
imAnOldLady54
Not all of us are from Australia, not all of us have this attitude toward spiders. Some of us are wimpy Americans who would just as 1/2
imAnOldLady54
soon literally burn the building and all its contents, as live with that thing.
kalcaitus9000
Its ok grandma, I'll relocate the spiders for you. no no, put the shotgun back, its ok grandma... i got this honest
Feanor19
I’d assumed this was written for Americans not locals since it converts to inches in parentheses in the article.
TemporaryJesusSauce
There's a special place in hell for people who kill a huntsman. At least just grab some tupperware and take it outside.
PaytonFrost
What's the local Aussie wisdom for that? They particularly good bug eaters or are they endangered?
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
They eat the spiders you don’t want in your house.
whatseventhepointt
They’re basically like North American Wolf spiders but on roids and huge comparatively
TemporaryJesusSauce
They're harmless, they don't spin webs, they typically just chill out of plain site, and they murder the shit out of insects.
Dunothar
As long as they don't web I'm fine. Funny enough, it's the web that freaks me out. Or when they look like a redback. ?
tooomanystevesgotbanned
