Don't get me wrong, I reside in FL and play with Black Widows, I just don't like the fast ground bastard spiders! You open up your medicine cabinet at 5am in the morning and have one right in front of you face the size of a 5 1/4 speaker!! Trust me, you'd jump too!
Put your two thumbs together tip to tip along with your two middle fingers and make a circle! (Big as a tarantula and 50x faster) Yea', these spiders get HUGE! Faster than the fastest cockroach. Take your eye off one & it will be gone when you look back!

Here in FL we call them huntsman or housekeeper spiders. I once caught a big Palmetto bug (HUGE roach for you northerners) and held him in front of one of these big spiders. As soon as I touched the spiders leg with the roach, it grabbed onto it with all 8 legs and tumbled untill it got a grasp of it.

This type of spider does not make a web like most but actually goes out looking for prey, most of the times though, it will just stay still with all legs stretched out near an outside light & grab anything that brisks its legs. I've seen them take small tree frogs!

The pics look small but trust me, this 'aint no small spider! **LMAO**

Huntsman Spiders

OMFG.

Forget the fvcking Raid. My home would be tastefully decorated in buckshot patterns if I saw one of those.

Something is telling me to NOT click that link.

Not...gonna....GAH!!! HFS!!!

I have a can of raid around the apt. for dealing with the occasional spider, but snakes are what really scare the crap out of me. I had some kind of a snake sneak into my apt and had to terminate him with extreme perjudice with a trusty can of air (you know the fun cans of air for blowing the dust out of your PC that when you spray them upside down the frozen liquid of doom comes out). Froze that little bastard.

Officials at the hospital said the Brazilian Wandering Spider was unlikely to pose a risk to public health since it "would have died very soon after being released" because of the cold.

That thing resisted being put in a freezer! No april cold can compare to that
Well, the idea is to stomp it real good
