When my husband hears me screaming in the shower, he knows to come running to remove the spider. He's able to catch them in his hands; I'm neither that quick nor that willing. We sent his mom (in California) a picture of a big huntsman climbing up the side of a coffee mug; the spider was as big as the mug. She has never come to visit us. My best huntsman story is from after a shower. I had washed my hair and put it up in a towel. When I looked in the bathroom mirror as I was brushing my teeth, there was a large huntsman looking down at me from atop the towel! Much shrieking and one discarded towel later, I was able to calm down. (And yes...catch & release is the best solution.)<br/><br/>Lucinda (in Florida) Here in Florida, these spiders are very common.
