Description
Well this huntsman spider was on the ceiling of my balcony. That one time huntsman completely freak me out when I was diving and he run across my front window on the inside , I pulled over to the left at no stopping zone and jump out of the car, he was bigger than my hand and I wasn't gonne share my space with him.
You can find them everywhere , in Northern beaches of Sydney of Sydney, they very common. They are poisoness , but not deadly and usually run away from people !!! You get used to them !!!
This guy wasn't that big, only about 15 cm across I guess !!! They legs can grow up to 15 cm, so they can be very large !!

What an amazing capture!! such a stunning beauty!! normally i dislike to be around them, but i enjoy studying them in close up images and in the way they build their web, i admire their intelligence as an insect!! L/F

Very familiar Miroslava...I usually get a very wide mouthed jar, slide some stiff paper under and banish them outdoors. Their numbers have dropped since we have been invaded by Asian Geckos. I think I would rather the spiders...they are cleaner. I exist because of a larger type of huntsman which is grey. My mum and dad got together when a grey huntsman which must have been hiding in my mother's raincoat had worked itself inside her dress ,panicked and bitten her...Dad was her knight in shining armor LOL l/f

That's what I do , or try to, except when I get he big spider which jump, they get sprayed, and I didn't know that about Asian geckos. Lol, love that story about your parents and the huntsman !!! I heard that it hurts to get bitten. Thank you !! :)

Fantastic shot, Miroslave - I would have have been long gone! I had to have my balcony sprayed for spiders a couple of years ago and when the exterminator had finished, it literally rained dead spiders! Took me three days to get the nerve to sweep them all up! f/v
