tdierikx Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 You know I had to look... I've now decided that I'm not visiting your place during Huntsman season... do you feed the buggers or what? That is one BIG bugger! If that were near me (or even just in the same room), there would be a great need for a clean pair of underwear! T.

Queen Maeby Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I had to look. Do they bite? eta Sorry, just saw the last post. They bite. Edited March 8, 2014 by puggedforlife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More people get injured by their dogs than they do by Huntsman spiders! I know you're right and that my fear is irrational (thanks Mum). I always feel guilty if I kill a huntsman, I read once they can live for over 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikira Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I quite like them, but for two examples, when hubby tried to rescue one above me when i was in the bath , and more recently when I was sleeping, and felt a movement - I realised straight away it was a Huntsman, but still whacked Hubby really hard to wake him and "liberate" it. :D Di Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, OK. Then I can still rehouse them. Should have known better than to trust my brother. He said they do not bite. ETA: In New Zealnd we had their version of the cockroach called weta.
