I quite like spiders and I actually really don't mind Huntsmans hanging around. I scream like a 7 year old when I see cockroaches so the odd Huntsman seems to scratch that itch!

Has anyone while driving, experienced the old Huntsman hiding in the sun visor and when pulled down the Huntsman falls into the lap trick?

I had similar....it was on the windscreen, then I had to work out if it was outside or inside...without touching it of course!

Then I realised it was inside after it moved....I then drove for about 2 minutes without looking at the road, traffic lights or other cars until I could stop and panic properly.

And they say drink driving is dangerous.

I bet there has been a few car accidents caused by Huntsmans.

It's surprising how often it happens. I've had huntsmen drop into my lap a number of times and run across the windscreen even more. Luckily they don't bother me but could you imagine if someone was really arachnaphobic?

Re: Spider photo's

Must be an Illawara thing, I had one fall onto my arm when I pulled the sun visor down. I was going slow enough just to stop and jump out, I very nearly soiled myself. I know the OP isn't big on killing spiders, but I'm sorry, that one had to go
