This absolute unit had set up shop right above the back door, I included the recessed ceiling light for scale (the photo still doesn't do it justice, the light is smaller than the spider 😭😭😭)

My husband managed to safely remove it and release it in the backyard in a spot where there should be plenty to eat. I'll bet this guy eats mice. 😩

Note to self: when you think you’ve dropped your pen between two lounge chairs and a quick look shows something dark in the shadows, do NOT reach your hand down there to pick it up!

Fortunately for my nerves it was a dead huntsman, but it was a major creep out nonetheless. Could have been worse, right? We’ve had funnelwebs in the house before. #arachnids #arachnophobia #spiders #straya #australia

New #tarantula species so feisty, males evolved the longest #genitalia to survive #mating

https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1093326

A logical bug in the headline - in those species where the male doesn't survive mating, it's not because of falling short, it's because #evolution has no better use for them than serving as a meal for the female. In which case they can't evolve any protective measure. #science #arachnids #ecology #newSpecies

A jumping spider (f. Salticidae) in the North Woods of Central Park in late May. This particular one was being a picky eater. It would grab one bug, pause for a moment, then drop it. It repeated this behavior for about 20 minutes before it finally settled on one that it actually wanted to eat.
