Yes, they're a bit scary when they do that. If only they wouldn't panic. :lol:

I've only come across a couple - last one was hiding in the gas bottle as I pput it in the car. I bravely flicked it out with a fishing rod and it hopped -yes hopped ie bounced on all its legs simultaneously - across the drive back into the garage.

I must admit that in all my time here, (18 years in total), I have never actually seen one.

Jeez sometimes hon I really dislike you :frown: I think the kindest word for you would be disturbed. Don't give it my address, it'll be dead before you could say see ya :eek:

You'd be proud of me though. Other night I did pick up a Christmas Beetle and lob it outside. The next one after got squished though. I was over the humane bit by then :lol:

She's very active today... keeps moving the egg sack around and stretching herself... then settling down again.

Sounds like I've got more than a little in common with your spider TP.

:huh::huh:

Oh my goodness.

I laughed at a German guest recently who went around killing every tiny bug she came across.

But - as a born Australian - there is no way in the world I would ever allow a huntsman to reside in my house. Actually, any huntsman that steps into my presence is dead within twenty seconds!!
