This is a video of a Huntsman from where I am in Australia. Seriously, almost every house has them (we don't at the moment) but whenever we do I call him Harry. They are really good at keeping down insects (and juvenile geckos), they rarely bite unless provoked or are guarding young. My brother in law was bitten by a medium sized one once, had a really bad migraine type headache and puked for a couple of hours. http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/animals/terrifying-huntsman-footage-goes-viral/news-story/00c453c78cd093dbe8603ffc1e99fe07 Here is one from last year down south from where I live - little bit of forced perspective but fairly big still https://au.news.yahoo.com/qld/a/33105858/charlotte-s-mega-web-is-this-dinner-plate-sized-huntsman-australia-s-biggest-spider/#page1 And one living in a letterbox at the moment http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/stop-squirming--hortense-the-huntsmans-letterbox-nursery-is-a-web-sensation-20161123-gsvokk Edited November 24, 2016 by Bosun Mule, hxtr and Astronomer 3 Awards

We have loads of different types here and, living in the countryside, we get to see many. One of my tasks during the daylight hours today is to get some wood kindling from a bin outside. There's a f***in' big spider guarding it! It's either a giant house spider or a labyrinth spider and has built a huge web all around the inside of the bin. I'll wear gardening gloves in case it bites...http://metro.co.uk/2016/09/06/uk-spider-identification-17-common-british-spiders-you-might-find-this-autumn-6110982/ hxtr and Bosun 2 Awards
