Not all Australian critters want you dead. Some are friendly. (The following was written by someone else, I don’t know who, if you know, please comment.) They are introducing this little guy.
He's a huntsman spider, and he's a little ball of happiness. He can't make webs, so you never need to worry about walking into one.
And you never need to worry about where he is because, usually, he's in plain sight. In your house.
A lot of people were scared of the Irukandji because it was so small. Don't worry about that with this guy. An average-sized adult is about as big as your hand. All good.
He frightens easily, the poor thing. So if he sees you coming at him, he'll run around all batshit insane. But he doesn't really run like a normal spider. He's better than that. Instead, think majestic galloping. Chilled as, right?
He's also good at killing smaller spiders and other pests. To do so, he chases them down like a motherfucking eight-legged cheetah
Nothing escapes. Hell yeah. He's nature's bug-spray.
Handy, right?
But he's not venemous to humans.
