I didn't think that spider in that photo looked that big and in your face either. Probably looked bigger in real life. It is not a close up photo with detail .which would be bigger and scarier.

I took a photo of a big huntsman spider on the ceiling. The photo is blurry ( scared it was going to land on me), not close up and a spider on a big ceiling didn't look as big and scary in the photo as it was in real life.

I had to take care of a big monster in the garage this week because it was trying to hitch a ride on my car.

 

Yesterday we bug bombed in there. That may not have been a good move. This morning I've found two very sickly looking cockroaches staggering through the laundry. It seems the pests are evacuating the garage and taking refuge in the house.

I have had a large spider turn up unexpectedly while driving, no fun

It's very dangerous Amber.  I wonder how many car accidents have occurred because of spiders making an unexpected appearance.  

I don't much like cockroaches either. 

Hunstmen are good spiders. I don't even bother to chase them out.

They come racing in my back door, stop dead and look at me then go like the clappers.

I have an understanding with them. If they don't run onto me they can stay, but I can make no promises for a calm reaction should they trespass on any part of my person
