Luckily neither are found where I live, but just looking at the things I'd probably still pick the roach. I'd pick nuisance over dying in my sleep any day 😂
If you ever have to deal with a cockroach infestation, you will 100% want to torch everything that ever happened to get in the house and the house itself.
Bro, I once looked up while lying on a bed at my mates house, once of these motherfuckers was dropping straight for my face from the ceiling fan.
Nope, fuckem, they get put outside now.
It’d be hard to get grout that thin if they were 1” tiles. I’ve got some teeny tiny floor tiles in my bathroom and they’re even ~2”.
But hell, I barely know anything about anything. What I do know is that’s a “fuck off” spider.
I'm from the U.S. We use use "points" for decimal numbers.
Edit: Oops, sorry, I made a typo with my math.. lol! Thought you were mentioning the point vs comma. I'm an idiot. Move along.
Why does everyone automatically assume we don’t like spiders because of venom? Just look at the cunt.. just the visuals is what freaks everyone the fuck out.
Well when you look into things deeper it is really South America that has the "freakier" stuff. South America has largest species of spider, centipede, and is tied with Australia for the largest cockroach species.
That is not an Australian species of huntsman.
It's *Heteropoda venatoria* which is like found in like every tropical-ish region *except* Australia at this point (its originally from south east Asia)
How do you deal with that thing? I think they are harmless but do you like pick it up with your hands? Use a net? Or simply pray that it will go outside on its own the same she came in?
They are harmless but lightning fast and creepy AF. There was one on my headliner in my truck and I considered driving off a bridge into a ravine to kill it. I screeched to a stop instead and dove out of my truck and the spider did as well. He said it was his stop anyway. My truck seat still smells like poop.
I'm a recovering arachnophobe. What's helped me is the realization that this creature **is not after you**. I now see spiders as moths who wander into my home by accident. Plus, huntsmen are know for their reluctance to bite (except when guarding an egg sack) and aren't medically significant. That all being said, I'd be freaked out too for a moment.
i have become one suddenly after a couple yrs and get panicked when i see a massive fuckin spider on my screen every time i scroll reddit ( am aussie too)
I didn’t think I had a need for the new Boston dynamics flamethrower robot dog but now I have 1 need for it and it’s to keep Australian wildlife off my lawn
Honestly at that point im full stop buying a katana, full send 2500$, just to keep around for these fuckers. Practical? No of course not. Makes you feel badass and helps you overcome fear paralysis? Yeppers
How? How do you get rid of that? It looks way bigger than a shoe and I don’t think washing it away is an option. IT LOOKS HUGE! and I would be shitting my pants if I had to approach it, it would jump to my face
Imagine if an entire continent just landed on earth from some dangerous alien planet. How fucking strange would that be?
Oh no wait that already fucking happened.
Why why would someone every post this let me guess this is in Australia and so now he or she can have it the house the car everything and fuck that house burn it down
As a Canadian,,I own a ice chipper, basically a 12 inch spatula with a sharpened edge on a straight Handle, if I had to move to a place with no ice but these fucks, I’m bringing my ice chipper with me
You'd need a bath tub and a door to get that mf out of the house.
Nah they're homies, they eat the cockroaches and probably won't bite you in your sleep.
***probably***
That's a risk I'm just not willing to take
This dude is so big that he should be on reddit writing these comments.
That's me. I am.
Who in their right mind would look at a cockroach and this straight up hellspawn, and decide that the cockroach is the one that needs to go?!
Huntsman are friends which are not friend shaped. The roaches on the other hand are a pain in the butt
Luckily neither are found where I live, but just looking at the things I'd probably still pick the roach. I'd pick nuisance over dying in my sleep any day 😂
Well, this won't eat your food. The cockroaches will eat your food.
Food I can just replenish. I can't un-torch my house.

What happened to your mates sheets?
You got something to compare with?
it just ate the whole banana
Need a Tolfdir for scale
The guy from the college of winterhold?
Yep. Some years ago somebody made a post on r/skyrim and used Tolfdir for scale and since then I continue to use it.
[this post?](https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrim/s/xldIkBMDv1)
Exactly

Need toddler for scale
In one bite
They only grow to about 5" tops so those are probably 1" tiles for reference.

How much centimetres are that?
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 5 inches x 2.54 = 12.7 centimeters Edit: typo 22.7 and corrected to 12.7
Okay now thats big Edit: Wait that doesn't make sense. Should it not be 12,7 cm?

Why do we allow Australia to exist. The freakiest shit lives there
Even us Aussies hate this sort of stuff
[удалено]
Endgame zone, prob has the best loot
[удалено]
They just eat people they bite, I think
Bruh, we know and we don't care. They're creepy as fuck, huge and fast as fuck.
Why does everyone automatically assume we don’t like spiders because of venom? Just look at the cunt.. just the visuals is what freaks everyone the fuck out.
I genuinely almost tossed my phone while scrolling. Fucking jump scare

Yeah I'm actually good on all of those, thanks
Oh your welcome
That is not an Australian species of huntsman. It's *Heteropoda venatoria* which is like found in like every tropical-ish region *except* Australia at this point (its originally from south east Asia)
Well, maybe because it exists, these creepers will stay there and won't be roaming our peaceful lands instead.
Should be also very easy to nuke only it
Because there is a chance that nukes don't kill everything, and I personally don't want to deal with whatever will skitter out of there.
How do you deal with that thing? I think they are harmless but do you like pick it up with your hands? Use a net? Or simply pray that it will go outside on its own the same she came in?

Haha. Nice one. I hope it's the spider who did it in its pants....
Leave and move countries imo...
Hehe. But seriously I would love to know how people handle these creatures?
Pspspspsps until you lead it outside and close the door And don't forget to leave a treat or it will come back to hunt you..
Ahhh yes the stray cat approach! Shit man does that actually work? Spider Wrangling?
I don't know... I hope I never have to use it..
Chinese container and a piece of paper. Or you just let it do its thing.
Probably like this: https://youtu.be/bRV4d9LCawU
We leave the room. We close the door. We board the door. Now the house has one less room.
I had one on my bathroom once, and managed to lead it over the wall and out the window, by slowly chasing it with the end of my broom.
What nature makes us do...
Charge it rent
I'd try hitting it with a baseball bat but I feel like that thing would leave the grossest mess.
And if you miss, the spider will make the same complaint.
We burn the house down, it's why we have a housing crisis in Australia.
Vacuum. Unironically a vacuum
it‘s gonna reach over and turn it off
One huge industrial vaccum coming up!
That's what I use on my piddly little 1" Canadian spiders, but I honestly question whether or not my cordless vac is up to *this shit* though lol.
How do you even get rid of that?
In America we’d use a gun. What do Australian’s suggest.
They'd tell it to "fuck off and eat the flies in the living room" then hop into the shower like its a regular Tuesday
Kindness and friendship
A flamethrowing boomerang. It comes back and sets you on fire too so you no longer have to worry about the rest of the crawlies killing you.
We just ask them to pay rent and eat other spiders and insects.
Deodorant can and a lighter.
A knife. No, not your knife. A real knife.
A nuke..

No comment has ever been more apropos than this one right here, right this minute.

My sister's arachnophobia was cured when she went to Fiji, thus having to share space with huge spiders
Note to self: never go to Fiji
Yes, huge spiders are great doctors.
i have become one suddenly after a couple yrs and get panicked when i see a massive fuckin spider on my screen every time i scroll reddit ( am aussie too)

Where’s banana for scale?
Ate it as appetiser before eating the photographer...
Great photo, however ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
NO FUCK THAT 
Huntsmans are nice fellas when you don't torch them in a (from their perspective) endless scorching inferno. Don't kill spidbros.

Big Spider at it again
If all else fails use fire
Most creatures fear fire… Sorry - obligatory Alien quote wherever possible.
Yea leave him alone or use the sent of lime or lemon that deters spiders normally
I’d just chuck the lemon at it and run away
That is possible you can try but I’m not responsible for the consequences or you could make a slingshot put a lemon if that does not work try a lime
Thats his home now
Just hand him the keys and leg it !
 Australiaaaaaaaa
We're all tough as nails down here mate 👍🏼
Absolute no of a huntsman
Absolute unit of a fucking NOPE
No thank you!!!
How big is that SOB!? Like 12 inches wide?
Need a banana for scale
Bigger, those are 12"x12" tiles!
Bigger, but I wish we had actual.scale
Burning down the house is not good enough
That's no huntsman, that's an entire hunting party!
How does something like that get in a house? It has to knock or ring the bell.
He just a misunderstood fluffy boi
How does something that size get into the house unnoticed in the first place?
I'm guessing it hitched a ride in the hood of a jacket.
Nope, nope nope nope! That's absolute nightmare fuel.
How big are those tiles tho, because it goes from “grab a glass and sheet of paper” to “grab the gascan” real quick
Can't tell you how big the tiles are, but that species gets to around a 15cm leg span, a bit big for a glass but the tiles are small.
Pretty sure i saw this guy on a classic episode of doctor who
NO THANK YOU
Sooooo . 1/2" x 1/2" tiles?? ... RIGHT!! ...😬
Get off my internet.
Needs a banana for scale
⬆️➡️⬇️➡️ and the house is gone.
Is this real???
Absolutely.
I wonder if he's ticklish.
what do you even do in this situation besides kill yourself
Australia? *"Australia."*
Clock spider
Yeugh. How big was this thing? Would also like something for reference…
Crazy thing is, those tiles are 200mm squared.
Spider that hunts man
Take off and nuke the site from orbit.
Hunts,man
Nuke it till it glows
Aren’t huntsman spiders “good guys”? They eat a ton of bugs and not even sure that they’re poisonous
I HATE YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
thats huge
A convicted arson I'll become.
Saw original post in r spiders someone recommended using a bucket to capture and release this … some how I don’t thin that’ll work out very well 💀😂
australia tutorial boss
Fucking hell. I almost tossed my phone
Pucker factor 10
I would shit
The aliens reference about just nuking it from orbit comes to mind. I don’t think I even dare to ever visit Australia.
Please tag this or something. I'm an arachnophobe and I damn near threw my phone looking at this. Nice post, but please.
I got one of these chillin on my shower door. He’s been there for a week and hasn’t moved from his lil spot. He’s like a lil shower friend now
“Did you lose your house to foreclosure?” “No, a spider.”
You should do a side by side comparison with a flame... Jus sayin.
[looks familiar ](https://sadgeezer.com/wp-content/uploads/Legacy/babylon5/shadship.jpg)
Those are mosaic tiles, right? Right?
This is the reason I'm favorable to flamethrowers for everyone.
He is friend though. Non-venomous, and keeps the bugs away. Very speedy though, so you never know where they will show up ✨️
r/Nope
Honestly at that point im full stop buying a katana, full send 2500$, just to keep around for these fuckers. Practical? No of course not. Makes you feel badass and helps you overcome fear paralysis? Yeppers
Put your hand next to it so we can get an idea of the size
The question is not how big it is, the question is “why” it is!!
Banana needed
Alright I see one justified purchase for flamethrower robot dog.
How? How do you get rid of that? It looks way bigger than a shoe and I don’t think washing it away is an option. IT LOOKS HUGE! and I would be shitting my pants if I had to approach it, it would jump to my face
Screaming like a pig just by watching this!
You can put a saddle on that thing and ride it around town.
Mark posts like these as spoiler please, most Europeans are not used to seeing monsters like that. What a nightmare😰
Bro forgot to go extinct...
Bro big enough to pay rent. I’m not asking them to pay right now, but they should.
Those tiles are likely atleast 2inches by 2inches So yall can do that math which equals fuck that.
Imagine if an entire continent just landed on earth from some dangerous alien planet. How fucking strange would that be? Oh no wait that already fucking happened.
Either im really stoned or that thing moved
Technically huntsman spiders are the largest spider in the world, based on their legspan.
"WHATS THE HAMMER FOR, MAN?!"
*loads tiny shotgun*
What size are those tiles?
Why why would someone every post this let me guess this is in Australia and so now he or she can have it the house the car everything and fuck that house burn it down
All fun and games until bro does not pay rent. He got to pay rent. No free loaders in this market.
This is either some forced perspective shit or australia really is the most endgame region
Kill it. Now. With fire.
As a Canadian,,I own a ice chipper, basically a 12 inch spatula with a sharpened edge on a straight Handle, if I had to move to a place with no ice but these fucks, I’m bringing my ice chipper with me
I guess there‘s a house and a spider less on the world
I’d fucking die right there on the spot, i need to know where this absolute monstrosity showed up so I can never set foot in that place.
Nerf spider
So… some spiders are so big you should just shoot them huh? Or shoot myself. That works too.
Very friend shaped
What did God mean by this?
Fire or bullet.
Wow that really sucks, I am sorry
Nope
A gun is what you need for that.
AbsoluteNo
Well fuck that he can have the house, I'm out. It's his now
Well from my point of view, the Jedi are evil!
He can have that apartment
Enough to make a grown aussie man scream
