I had a huntsman on my windscreen once, drving along Tulla Freeway, I had to pull over and get out so I could scream

That's nothing - I hopped in my car late one night to drive home and didn't notice until I shut the door -(thank God the window was up), that the biggest green frog in Christendom has climbed between the wind guard thingy and the driver's side window.

When I arrived home, I had to climb over the gear stick, console and seat belt things so I could alight via the passenger side door and make my escape. I left the car parked outside so it would be in the sun in the morning, and the frog would leave. Again, thank God it worked. I couldn't hurt a frog, and I fully understand that they are a beautiful, important part of our ecosystem, but they scare the bejesus out of me! Also, they eat huntsman spiders.

Cheers,

Marina.

I am not insane, and I have the psychiatric reports to prove it....

lol Debra. Why couldn't you scream in the car? I was driving onto the Eastern one day, along Bulleen Road in peak hour traffic and he casually walked across my windscreen. I jumped out of the car and tried to beat him off with a newspaper. Funniest thing was a bloke pulled over to help me and he was more scared than me! I'm not usually one to cause a disruption but there was no way I was getting back in that car till it was gone.

As to the weather. I just got off the phone to a friend who is coming over from the USA. She asked me what sort of clothes she should pack. I told her just to pack everything because it's Melbourne!

i had a renault 16 with a resident huntsman in it , it lived behind the rear vision mirror for months. i have no fear of them for some reason, probably inherited from my father who was the same (in that respect anyway) i pick one up and let it walk on my head from time to time people don't like it much, but i'm in demand when there's one on the wall .

if only a huntsman would cooperate like that, i'd go busking or suchlike. they tend to jump off usually.

Having lived in Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, I much prefer Melbourne's weather.

tie a piece of string around one of his legs

or maybe use some gaffer tape - gaffer tape fixes everything

Why am I suddenly itchy around the neck?

Re: Melbourne weather

lakeland27 — Thu, 10 Oct 2013 06:11:06 GMT

the string around the leg idea is probably best crikey, but might distress the spider . i actually like them so when i catch one i always release them in the garden or on a fence (huntsmen like fences)
