Do you have a huntsman tale to share?

Once when I was round at the inlaws having dinner, there was a huge huntsman on the window outside! I tryed to spray it but they are nippy little critters!! Managed to get it in the end but almost had a heartattack in the process!
Definitely think the best thing to do is leave them and they won't bother you!

All the more reason to leave all spiders alone!
Mr B used to play with funnel webs as a child, just to see them rear up. He's still here to tell the tale

Huntsmen bites hurt like hell. It's like being stapled really hard. Then you feel weird for a couple of days, it's like being really vague for a while.
I had one that lived behind the dash of the car. Sometimes it would climb up onto the steering wheel and stay at the top while I turned the wheel. Good fun.
And they do eat the cockroaches.
