They are ugly...harmless but ugly.....but still scary

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Are you just going to leave it there? :scared:

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

I'm sure i know this one!!!! :D

Night night, hope you sleep well :scared:

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Well....I'm not going to pick it up and tuck it up in it's bed ! :scared:


I have the theory that it is late, so must be too tired to move far now.....

Re: First huntman of the season....

Daughter has been getting into mischief at nursery sneaking up to behind the carers and other children and tickling them just below the earlob with little leafs.

You have been warned :D

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Only seen a couple of baby ones so far - no dinner-plate sized beasties. Did notice a very pregnant one the other day which I left to carry on its business - they do a good job on the fly front after all. :)

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Just be glad you only seem to get them in the summer!

You have been lucky so far as they are usually around all year!! ;)

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Never seen one in the winter.....but then again I have only spent two winters here.
Also, I thought they tend to come into peoples houses to get away from heat.....so in the winter, they would be outside, and so less likely to be seen.

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Yer dont like the huntsman much. I've never had problems with spiders, but had two incidents with huntsman - first was one on ceiling and I got a fly swat thing to try to catch it but just as I got under it it jumped on me and i did the spider dance :scared: . Second was when I was going to work and there was one in the car on the pedals - I couldnt catch it and had to get to work so drove with absolute terror and never did find the bugger! :mad: Little spiders - no worries - huntsman? no thank you!!! ;)

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Nope, you can pretty much get a huntsman running around your house anytime of the year...

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

I was very brave...and took him outside in a glass (which he didn't want to leave :rolleyes: )

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

OMG it jumped on you :scared: Really think I'd have a heart attack :eek:

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

A good drowning in Mortein works for me!! :D

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

hmmm, really?

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Yes, it works well on all kinds of pests!!! :p

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

You are brave! How did you get him in a glass? Was it a big blighter! I luckily haven't seen one since I've been here - but I had some bad experiences with them when staying with a friend in the country many years ago :eek:

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

He wasn't that big...seen a LOT bigger here!
Put the glass over him, and slipped an piece of paper underneath.
He's decided to leave the bathroom, and have a look round...when I picked him up he was having a nosey round the bedroom :eek:


Which edge of the Dandenongs do you live?

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Arghhhhhhhhh!! I've filled my quota for the next 2 years! Are all you huntsmen out there listening?? 2 in 2 weeks this January was more than enough. I think one sighting every 2 years is fair and not as damaging to my heart. :D

Steady on girl ! :D

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

We're in The Basin - only moved 2 weeks ago (from Aspendale Gardens). Love it here - so quiet and pretty. The Basin is about 5 mins towards the hills from Boronia.

BTW - just met a Possum in our back garden, up one of our trees - he was quite friendly and much cuter than a Huntsman :D I'm terrified of finding a Huntsman in my car - the house has been sprayed, so hopefully that'll be OK...

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Give it fruit and it will be your friend for life - they love apples :)


Apparently one of the fav hiding places for Hutman spiders...well, all spiders in your car is the sun screen....so try to get in the habit of lowering it in the summer...you don't want one landing on your knee as the sun blinds you !! :scared:

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Right - I'm getting my car sprayed!! Will it ruin the mechanics? Better than being a right off though :D

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Just don't park under trees & overhanging bushes.

Mrs Bordy has had two in the car, luckily both times they fell on her while she was driving out the driveway although second time she almost cleaned up next doors fence.

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

How far can they jump/dive? I have to park under a tree - but it's a tall one... I'm hoping that's better than in the garage??......
I had a 3in bug fly down my top on the way back from the Oak Tree pub the other night... :eek:

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Poor bug. What a way to go though. :D

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

Thats not a very nice way to describe your OH :D

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

**Serious Question!** (OMG I'm petrified!) :scared:

Can we get a car Sprayed? :confused: :o

Re: First huntman of the season....
 

OOh, I vaguely remember those days before the little uns.. :D ;)
