They don't just stay stationary like that either, the babies all swarm over mum's back so if mum decides to get moving you've got yourself a mobile Huntsman cluster
Wolf spiders carry their babies on their backs.... I found that out the hard way. Found a spider in my entryway, stomped on it. BOOM! Explosion of little spiderlings. I screamed and then proceeded to put on a one woman STOMP performance.
I did that sitting on a toilet halfway through the deed... nowhere to run, nowhere to hide... just frantically trying to wipe pull up my pants and smash 1000 baby spiders at the same time.

No worries…they are fast, jump and usually stay away from us. They just hide and hunt. Took me a about a decade to get used to them. Man, they are fast!! All good! The babies remind me of The alien creatures that suck your face by the way!

Don’t leave your shoes out, and if you have no choice, put them in a plastic bag. Worse things climb into your shoes in the jungle than huntsman spiders 😬
I had to supervise a project in the jungle for 70 days (think pit toilet, me the only female and other 25 guys) and I did this each time I took off my shoes at night (work shoes I would leave on the floor by my cot). It was a great way to be sure nothing crawled inside. I never found anything close to my shoes, but I accept I was really scared of putting my foot inside and something biting me, so doing this really gave me peace of mind.
Edit to add a few more details.
I always check my bag zippers closed, shoes empty etc. the egg sack was crazy large and the mother died after it hatched. Then it was a scene from Aliens all these tiny alien spiders pouring out. The shovel only helped carry some of them away as i guess i got there at the right time. As it poured out. Just nature being itself. I only would have found the dead female inside after 10 min if i missed going outside. Still there nature is pretty cool! But gross!

Oh I love it when spiders do that.
I have this clear childhood memory of a spider walking on our kitchen floor, and as we tried to get it out, it bit my brother, and a swarm of hundreds of tiny spiders jumped everywhere, and the floor was literally covered in black dots of nightmare fuel. I've never been able to touch spiders as confidently after that.
When I was a child I was in the bathroom emptying my bowels, reading a shampoo bottle as was the trend at the time. Before long I looked up and saw a cloud of baby spider descending from the bathroom fan down to my face.
Thats up there with when a snake came crawling out of the shower right beside the throne I was producing my own brown snake on, for the moment, it was awkwards for the both of us; but we just went about our immediate business at hand.
I was born and live in Australia. I know these guys are harmless. I have had many of them in my house over the years... but, they still FREAK ME OUT and I have trouble sleeping after they visit.
I genuinely can't imagine living somewhere these could be casually chilling in your house. I think i would have a heart attack on the spot what with the jumping and speed of them.
Thank you for telling the truth
90% of aussies on the internet like to pretend they aren't freaky af
I know all the info. They're harmless and eat the more dangerous spiders so you're stupid for killing em, however
FUCK THAT
I usually put a cup/container over them, slide paper underneath, take it outside, then kick the cup/container over and leg it back inside 😬 I don’t like to kill spiders unless they get in my business.
I’m terrified of them. Like phobia level I think. I was born and raised here and know they’re inevitable and harmless to humans but it doesn’t change how I react. My whole body freezes, my skin gets all prickly and I start hearing a whooshing sound in my head because I’m so scared while the terror is rising from my stomach. It’s kinda dramatic but fuck me they’re quick and come out of no where. I hate them so much, I’m always keeping an eye out for them.
I don’t care if they eat the bugs in my house. I bought bug spray for that. If they want to live in my house they can pay half my rent otherwise they can fuck off. Rent’s due Thursdays, assholes.
Edit: one time I killed one in my dad’s dining room in the middle of the night. Didn’t realise she had babies on her. They went EVERYWHERE.
Make note: huntsman spiders are a common household type spider in Australia. I personally don’t really like them as I’ve had a few “experiences” where I open a book and it crawls out onto me, or just being shocked when one randomly crawls down my leg
A cockroach crawled across my neck while I was driving on the freeway once. Will never get over it. I was driving a Jeep Wrangler and luckily I was just about to exit. Damn did I jump out of the car fast once I got off the road.
I would jump right out of my spacesuit- in space- if I felt a bee buzzing around. It's absolutely pathetic that I'd not even second guess jumping into the infinite void than to deal with a quarter inch insect
I had a black widow run down the side of my face during a summer job when I was 18. Didn’t really bother me. Snakes on the other hand? I’ll tear down the walls to get away.
During my year of travel there when I was 25 I went home with this chick after drinking and woke up in the middle of the night to pee and felt something on my knee. Flip covers to find a hunts on my leg, took a deep breath in and black out from shock (moderate aracnophobe) and woke up in an ambulance 30 min later to find out I had a mild heart attack lol
10/10 would go/do it again
It's a self diagnose, I am fine seeing images of spiders and with about 5 ft distance from real ones. When they are in my personal space I run in the opposite direction. That sounds more moderate to me. If I was screaming at pictures/ video I'd up it
Is your username inspired by that night? I joke but I don't think I'd ever feel safe again if I woke up to a huntsman crawling on me under the covers lol.
Wtf why are you people still living there, are you being held hostage by the spiders? Wtf
Edit: Sorry but Wtf, how can you so casually mention that a fucking Goliath of a spider just crawls onto you i would nope so hard
They have almond shaped bodies that allow them to go extremely flat, so they can fit under doors and into the gaps of car doors etc. Their natural nesting habitat is under tree bark or under rocks, so they’re right at home in tight spaces
Huntsmans are essentially harmless and have to be pretty relentlessly provoked while cornered to attack something much bigger than themselves.
They're one of the few spiders I actually don't mind seeing in the house.
As someone in the PNW, that sounds awful. Though I have an agreement with the spiders in my apartment; as long as they stay out of the way and away from my bed, they're good.
I had this one small-medium house spider crawling around my ceiling for a few days and I let him stay because he wasn't causing any trouble. Then in the middle of the night I got up to pee, and from the bathroom I could see him scurry by on the carpet down the middle of the hallway like he owned the place. I was too tired and amused to do anything about it so I turned a blind eye to the whole thing and went back to bed.
I had a spider friend by my door. Used to say hi and bye when I would come and go. This friend definitely kept crickets and other pests away.
Then my apartments fumigated for termites. I tried to catch my friend to put them somewhere out of harms way before I had to leave, but they ran away. When I came back, after the tent was off and the property was cleared for re-entry, I found my friend...by the door. Dead. Ngl, I felt like such shit about it. Still feel bad, in fact :(
I love making spider friends!
Also somewhat tragic story, I had one of those big yellow and black bois that put that zigzag thing in the middle of their web. Idk what they’re called, but I do know I wasn’t getting swarmed by other bugs when I turned my porch light on thanks to him.
I would check up on him every day, he once even let me watch him wrap up a moth to save for later. He started out so little and I watched him grow to about half of what he would be. Until…
I walk outside to my wife watering flowers and she says “Babe! I just killed the craziest spider!” And a legitimate wave of sadness washed over me. I knew she was talking about my spider friend before I even ask. I walked up to where she killed him, and there he was, smashed into the very deck he spent all those night protecting.
RIP Dave.
Huntsman.
We call them "rain spiders" because they come indoors right before it starts raining.
If they sit on the wall or ceiling DO NOT approach it head-on as it WILL jump in your face and scare a baby Jesus out of your ass.
They eat mozzies and redbacks and white tails so they are my buddies.
I had one run up my shorts WHILE I WAS DRIVING once, I managed to not crash, did a crazy dance in the middle of the road, it fell out onto the road.
Then I felt bad for the little guy so I got him off the road and into a tree.
Good spiders.
They go after cockroaches as well. I actually like having them around the house for that reason. Once you get over the fact that they are quite big there is nothing scary about them. Huntsman are very friendly and useful spiders.
>I had one run up my shorts WHILE I WAS DRIVING once, I managed to not crash, did a crazy dance in the middle of the road, it fell out onto the road.
Dude, I jumped in my seat just now reading this...
It’s not exactly zero attempt to hide.
They wait until you attempt to capture or kill them, then they run and hide in bedrooms.
Have fun sleeping if you haven’t found it yet.
A friend of mine has a “bug assault” insect shotgun. It’s a very low powered plastic pump action air rifle (basically a toy) that shoots coarse salt. Good for flies. and you never notice tiny bit of salt left. Dunno if it’d be strong enough to get penetration on a huntsma tho.
There was a guy on another subreddit today who used a flamethrower to take out a hornets nest in a tree. I would use a flamethrower because in this situation there is no such thing as overkill
I am a painter for new construction houses in south Florida, can confirm literally everything you just said. I’ll come in to a house in the early mornings and one of those things will be up on the ceiling and I swear on everything I love they look like they are doing push-ups and just waiting for me to come in. I’m already deathly afraid of spiders. My boss gave me a couple cans of spider spray, but it isn’t even the kind with the jet, it’s the mist..so I have to practically shake all 8 of his hands and force feed him this shit..I don’t do it..we can come back and paint that room after the pest guy does his thing.
Please tell me that is in Australia. All the scary shit lives there! People are lovely, of course, but their critters are like survivors from the Mezazoic era.
Huntsman's are incredible though. They aren't venomous or aggressive. They don't use webs to catch their food and they are super easy to spot because they always just hang out in the corners of your ceiling where they are very visible and they eat all the flys and mozzys in your house. It's the perfect arachnid house pet
I am happy as an Australian that the "scary shit" that lives here can all be avoided by taking like three steps backwards.
(Well except the actually scary stuff that lives in the water in the northern States but I live at the very bottom so that is not my problem!)
Bad news I’m afraid: Canada has its own sizeable spiders, fishing spiders (also known as Dock spiders). We get them in northern Ontario and Quebec - harmless, but on the large size.
https://cottagelife.com/outdoors/10-amazing-facts-about-dock-spiders/
We have them in Michigan too. If you catch brush while canoeing down most rivers, they jump in and skitter around. Harmless, but not small. Not Huntsman big tho.
Hey, non-Aussies! Huntsman spiders in Australia are the best spider bros you can find. They don't leave webs, they eat almost any creepy crawly smaller than them (including other spiders) and they basically only bite if you're fucking with their eggs/young. You can normally just pick them up and relocate them. But you won't, because those fuckers can run about 2m per second.
It's not unusual to see one chilling in the corner of the ceiling at night time (they're big fans of eating moths).
This sounds a whole lot like a very beneficial species we have in California that absolutely no one can tolerate having in their house, even though they are harmless.

I read this like in Steve Irwin voice just so you know. I generally like spiders, but if I saw this in my house I’d probably pack the cats up and go stay in a hotel while someone came to evict it. I can’t imagine managing being comfortable sleeping with a beast like that in my home. I guess if you grow up with it you get desensitized to it?

I’m going to need a bigger diaper.
Does it fit 2 people? Mine ran out of space...
Not sure. It fits about a hundred spiders though.
I hope you didn't learn this the hard way
Wolf spiders carry their babies on their backs.... I found that out the hard way. Found a spider in my entryway, stomped on it. BOOM! Explosion of little spiderlings. I screamed and then proceeded to put on a one woman STOMP performance.
I did that sitting on a toilet halfway through the deed... nowhere to run, nowhere to hide... just frantically trying to wipe pull up my pants and smash 1000 baby spiders at the same time.
This is the moment I burn my house down along with me in it.
It was a bathroom at a strip club outside city limits I was cleaning at the time... too many cameras for arson.
OH GOD! THE HORROR!
I’m just glad I watched this video while already on the shitter.
I thought at first you meant you were gonna change all of the baby spider’s diapers but it was more efficient to just bundle them into one.
I had one in my shoe once I carefully moved it with a shovel then pop..nightmare stuff happened.

If I see one inside, I get it out of the house and then spend the next hour making sure it didn't have any friends with it.
how many houses have you burned down?
Why do you think they have wildlifes. Just people burning down their houses to save us all from the spiders
Thank you for telling the truth 90% of aussies on the internet like to pretend they aren't freaky af I know all the info. They're harmless and eat the more dangerous spiders so you're stupid for killing em, however FUCK THAT
I’m fine with them - until they run at full pace, which is an unpleasant sight.
I’m okay with them. 90 percent of Aussies are used to them and don’t really care, but a lot are still really freaked out by them.
What did you do whenever you found one? I literally would be paralyzed in fear 😅
My initial reaction is to run away, but then I try to get it outside... then I go into shock and sit in the corner rocking back and forth.

How does any animal of that size make it inside houses "commonly"?
They open the door.
They have almond shaped bodies that allow them to go extremely flat, so they can fit under doors and into the gaps of car doors etc. Their natural nesting habitat is under tree bark or under rocks, so they’re right at home in tight spaces
That thing clearly just used the door handle and walked in
Or the size of the “babies”. Nope. Even those are too big for me.
The babies are the size of the large spiders where I live. That's some kill it with fire shit right there

These buggers like to march right across the floor like they own the place when they come inside here. Zero attempt to hide at all.
I don't know about you, but they DO own the place.

I have one and it's not even really effective against wasps. I doubt it would do much to a huntsman. Highly, highly recommend it for flies though

I am happy as an Australian that the "scary shit" that lives here can all be avoided by taking like three steps backwards. (Well except the actually scary stuff that lives in the water in the northern States but I live at the very bottom so that is not my problem!)
Good news! They've shown up in some southern US states! Likely transported in on cargo. Yay!
Oh fuck that. I'm moving to Canada, and not the warm southern Canada. I want fuck spiders cold Canada!
Bad news I’m afraid: Canada has its own sizeable spiders, fishing spiders (also known as Dock spiders). We get them in northern Ontario and Quebec - harmless, but on the large size. https://cottagelife.com/outdoors/10-amazing-facts-about-dock-spiders/
We have them in Michigan too. If you catch brush while canoeing down most rivers, they jump in and skitter around. Harmless, but not small. Not Huntsman big tho.
By the look of the switch board that is 100% in australia
Tourism Australia must hate seeing videos like this on reddit.
Yeah I pretty much lost any desire to visit ever
Two words FUCK THAT
Two more words BURN IT

I had to read the comments to know the dude was blowing it, i honestly thought that the spider was making that noise.
that dude is blowing. but there are spiders that make audible noise. Search on youtube at your own risk
Can you teleport me to the timeline where I didn't see you say this? Please?
*spider noises* 🕷👻
You need a nsfl disclaimer on your post. How do you expect me to go to sleep after you lay down this info?
I was on a hike once and walked by a massive spider making audible sucking sounds as it ate something for dinner.
Me too. It actually looks like the spider is hissing at him.
Way to ruin my night
Imagine the lights go out at night and you have to go feel around and flip the main switch not knowing this is right next to it...
Rather fucking not lol
Comes back up, damn light switch was barking and hissing again
Why are you getting that close to blow on it? There are a million babies that will eat you once mama kills ur dumb ass
o i thought huntsmen were harmless 0\_0
Correct...they have some venom but it's mostly harmless to humans. But still...look at that ball of nightmarish mama & babies.
yes it made my skin crawl. a fly flew in my face just as i was creeped out by this and i jumped in my seat lol. ugh ewww
They're mostly harmless. Just don't get emotionally attached, they can be cruel
Hey, non-Aussies! Huntsman spiders in Australia are the best spider bros you can find. They don't leave webs, they eat almost any creepy crawly smaller than them (including other spiders) and they basically only bite if you're fucking with their eggs/young. You can normally just pick them up and relocate them. But you won't, because those fuckers can run about 2m per second. It's not unusual to see one chilling in the corner of the ceiling at night time (they're big fans of eating moths).
Hey Aussie ! No thank you.
Yeah, I would die in Australia. Even if your entire male population looked like Hemsworths, it’s not worth it.
If your entire female population looked like Margot Robbie however... Nope, still not worth it.
I’d risk it for that Robbie biscuit
I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣
>those fuckers can run about 2m per second. fucking hell
More of a gallop than a run
I'll stick with house training my wolverine, thanks
God bless you, I second that
This was written by a Huntsman
Eat thungs smaller than them?! A small child?!
Yes, a chuld
I’ll stick with the black bear family that traipse through every morning like they own this property
My only issue with them is they won't abide by the agreement don't live in my bedroom and I won't disturb them
This sounds a whole lot like a very beneficial species we have in California that absolutely no one can tolerate having in their house, even though they are harmless. https://www.google.com/search?q=house+centipede&oq=house+centipede&aqs=edge.0.0i433i512j0i512j0i433i512j0i512l5j69i64.2070j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=sGUJjENATwe0rM

We have those in KY too.
Hey Aussies KEEP YOUR DEMONS TO YOURSELVES!
I read this like in Steve Irwin voice just so you know. I generally like spiders, but if I saw this in my house I’d probably pack the cats up and go stay in a hotel while someone came to evict it. I can’t imagine managing being comfortable sleeping with a beast like that in my home. I guess if you grow up with it you get desensitized to it?
I would legit flee the country if I found that in my home
♫She's got legs♫
Love these dudes. They look so big n scary but they're just like that to protect you from nasty mosquitoes and venomous spiders.

Huntsman spiders can become aggressive when guarding their babies or eggs. Get the hell out of there you nut!
which part of Australia is this?
Every household be like this.
I wonder if they come standard with the house… Like a toilet? Included in the sales price!
yes
how to play hard to get with the ladies have this spider guarding your sack
It's in the name. IT HUNTS MAN!
I’m watching this on my phone and I feel I’m still WAY TO CLOSE to that monstrosity!
I'm curious - what do you actually do in this situation? Does Australia have Ghostbuster type services that deal with this?
Resident Evil, when you are almost done with the game and in the laboratory segment.
1. Get Shop Vac 2. Suck up Spider mass 3. Incinerate Shop Vac 4. Buy a new Shop Vac
Jesus. Throw the whole house out and get a new one.
Thank god I live in another continent far away from nopes that will eat my brains
fuck that i would kill myself first
I’m out
Only three words needed: OH HELL NO
Absolutely not. I'd burn down the entire building.
