Household Spiders

(Left) Australia's Brown Huntsman Spider


There are several common household spiders here, including the Brown and Grey Huntsman spiders. Both kinds of spiders are harmless, but quite large.

This Brown Huntsman (left) is as large as a Tarantula. It was running around the dining room like a crazed lizard. We couldn't ignore it. When it sought refuge under a stuffed chair, we had to take the chair outside in order to flush the monster out.

Meanwhile, there was a civil, smaller (about the size of a 50-cent piece) Grey Huntsman Spider sitting quietly in the kitchen sink. Leave that baby alone!
