Just wanted to let you know that when we came back from our trip yesterday, we found a healthy-sized huntsman in the kitchen. The Geek used the Twig’s Bug Catcher to collect it, and yes, the Bug Catcher was only just big enough. BTW, I think huntsman spiders are really cool, though I still wouldn’t like one walking on me.

I am scared of spiders because my mum is terrified of spiders. When she was about 12 or 13, she put her mouth under the outside tap to get a drink and turned it on and got a mouthful of huntsman. That’ll scar you for life.

It’s definitely spiders for me. Spiders and hitch hikers.

Huntmans are freaky and big and we used to get them all the time in the house where I grew up but it’s the funnel web that gets me the most. I had a recurring dream when I was a kid. It was chasing me and I was throwing bricks and anything I could get my hands on on the damn thing but it would just re inflate and keep on running after me. I’ve passed the gift of spider phobia onto Noah (and we squeal like stuck pigs together).

As for the hitch hiker… It was when I was about seven I think there was a string of poeple being murdered after being picked up while hitch hiking. My mother told us the story one day when my brother asked why she never picked a hitch hiker up. My life was never the same again.

Oh my god oh my god. I HATE spiders. And the bigger and darker and hairier, the worse.

I also hate crickets. And it’s cricket season. We get these huge mutant black crickets in our finished basement that look like gigantic spiders…AND THEY HOP. Fucking high, too.

Brrrr.

I can really relate to the huntsman spider fear Kell, I hate them too! I can handle all the others but Huntsmans are very very scary! A few weeks ago I was driving home with my two kids in the car along a country road near home. It was just twilight when I saw something out of the corner of my right eye. I turned to see a massive huntsman right on my drivers side window!! Well I skidded into the gravel, freaked out, jumped out of the car and wondered what the hell to do! It started trying to escape, ( he knew I was on to him!) Lucky I had me a long handled shovel in the back!!
