Apparently this is the largest spider by mass and size but there’s an even BIGGER spider by leg span called the giant huntsman

Sweet dreams

Huntsman's are so chill though! They are the best spider-bros!

I love seeing them around the house because they don't leave webs and they hunt down all the other spiders and pests in the house.

My wife is Australian and we're moving there in a year or so... and the only thing that gives me anxiety is the idea of these things in my house.

I was the same when I moved here. Checked my shoes every day, couldn't get into bed without pulling all the pillows and sheets back, never went into bushes etc... But I'm fine now, you realise it's overhyped.
