Yeah they make a big mess when you squish them. I’ve taken to trying to capture them with a bowl or dish and release them. But, the little fuckers are so quick they usually jump and run, and I have to squish them. Here in Japan, the Huntsman spiders are HUGE and very common.

Hooo boy, that made my bumhole pucker up…

Arachnophobia is SUCH fun. What I love is how when you shine a torch at them at night, their eyes shine like tiny little reflectors. Disturbing, I tells ya…

Z=Master, trust me NZ and Aussie have spiders that big. You probably just haven’t seen them. Here’s one example.

These fuckers are common and they jump. They don’t, typically, spin webs though. They hide and assault their prey. I’ve been surprised by them quite a few times. Relatively harmless though. I used to be a pansy about spiders, but not anymore.

I take that back. Looks like there are some chubby hunstman spiders around the place, so it may very well be a huntsman. Now I need a shower.

Conclusion? Burn your house down.
