AUSTRALIA IS MOSTLY AWESOME. THIS IS MY FIRST HUNTSMAN IN THIS APARTMENT, AND I'VE LIVED HERE FOR OVER TWO YEARS.

RE: NIGHTMARES - MAYBE YOU CAN TAKE COMFORT IN KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS GOING TO HAVE NIGHTMARES NOW. JESUS CHRIST. SORRY I CAN'T BE MORE HELPFUL.

I HAVEN'T HAD SPIDER NIGHTMARES IN YEARS. I SHALL NOT BE HAPPY IF THEY COME BACK.
(ALSO, YOUR ICON IS THE CUTEST THING EVER)

They only bite if you handle them, or surprise them, they aren't huge jumpers and are quite timid and will hide. But don't let a cat or small dog near them, because they can make them really sick.
(also they kill cockroaches, and I think that's brilliant).

I guess I could catch a huntsmen and keep that as a pet, like the one I had as a kid, but it's not the same. I want a bird eating spider that's not poisonous that I can be tactile with.
Spiders are OK, but you should see me with millipedes, I scream like a little girl.

In fact, more people die because of that irrational fear, then the actuality, like the spider in the car, the spider is extremely unlikely to hurt the person (the spiders which are known to kill people don't usually crawl into cars, funnel-webs like the backyard etc), but freaking out about (the spider)is going to either kill or injure yourself or others if you don't pay attention to the road.
But then, public speaking isn't going to kill you either, but people always list that as the number 1 fear of all time. Humans are strange creatures.

But maybe you might need a brick with which you can smash that huge ass spider...
*sigh* you aussies get all the kinda cool infestations. I only get to worry about mice, roaches, & little tiny spiders that'll kill w/ their bite.

BUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS NOW. LAST I SAW, IT WAS ON MY WARDROBE DOOR.
AND IT IS NOT A COOL INFESTATION. IT IS A HORRIBLE, MONSTROUS INFESTATION WHICH NEEDS TO BE KILLED VICIOUSLY.

I DIDN'T END UP GOING SWIMMING THAT DAY.
BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST DISTURBING SPIDER STORIES I HAVE EVER HEARD.

IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME, BUT REAL HUNSTMANS FREAK ME OUT AND GIVE ME NIGHTMARES. THIS ONE CAUSED ME TO CURL UP ON MY CHAIR FOR FIVE MINUTES CRYING AND SHAKING BEFORE I HAD THE COURAGE TO LEAVE TO GET THE FREAKING BUG SPRAY.
