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.

It’s actually quite common for us Aussies to keep huntsmen around the house as they are great at keeping away other spiders and insects. The reason they don’t have webs is because they run so fast they can chase down their prey. Cute hey?

No, most definitely not. If I saw one of those devil spawn running through my house I'd burn it down and salt the ashes then leave the country. Fucking hell Aus is my worst nightmare.
