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

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 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

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

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

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!!
