My friend Andrew who lived in Sydney, Australia had a huntsman spider pet who lived in his apartment peacefully for many, many years. The spider was about 3 inches across. We stayed at Andrew's place when visiting and often ran across the spider crawling around on top of window moulding, on the curtains, or even under the toilet seat. It was a perfect tenant and never caused a moment's problem. It completely kept to itself and never bothered anyone.

Calling them fast is a little of understatement. The typical cockroach can achieve max speed from the first step it has taken of its run. That speed in human size will be comparable of 360 km/h. And yet the huntsman spider beats them in their own game. Imagine that with us. As you are moving at speed that will put almost any other animal to shame, this bus sized monstrosity jumps out if nowhere and murders you before you can react.

As an arachnophobe (as in heart palpitations, nausea, and other really serious stuff beyond girly shrieking) I seriously questioned our decision to move to Aus when we came across the first huntsman in our house. Amazingly they helped me in an almost therapeutic way. Between them keeping the house insect-free and the cats patrolling in case they spider wants to eat me at night, we've arrived at a detente. I can admire them from a distance without fainting or throwing up - they're actually quite pretty. I draw the line when they rear up on their backlegs, front legs in threat position and start moving towards me. That's when I call in the nuclear air strikes. Only way to be sure.

The thing about cats is that they can distinguish movement that's 8 times faster than what we can distinguish. They can distinguish the individual wing flaps of a housefly. We needed a high speed camera to figure out how bumblebees fly; cats always knew. They have reflexes to match this, and can respond in real time to a viper strike. The result is total arrogance, even when facing small, lightening fast, venomous creatures. This is also why cats usually don't pay attention to TV. To them, anything with less than 100 fps is a slide show, and anything with less than 150 fps is low quality animation. Dogs need fewer fps, though still more than us. Dogs are mainly prevented from enjoying TV by having bad color vision. Cats have better color vision than dogs, though not as good as us. Pardon the rambling.

Listen to what she said in the video. Logically they’re way smaller than you even the big ones. They don’t want any problems with you which is why they usually run when you bother them. If they ever come in contact with you it’s usually by accident. You’re not their prey they don’t want to bite you and if you get bitten it’s because they were scared and were trying to protect themselves. Humans have a natural fear of them which is why you have to override that fear instead of give into it as the woman in the video said. I learned this when I was younger and it has help led me immensely. Remember they don’t have a concept of what we call our house and our space they go where they will find food and shelter which usually also happens to be our homes but they’re damn good at pest control. I have one in the corner of my room just chilling in a web...it’s not disturbing me and I won’t disturb it. Harmony is possible.

And some spiders you catch so a few million baby spiders don’t scatter the moment you crush them.

Can I just say, as someone afraid of spiders, Ann made this video really calming to watch and made huntmans seem less scary while I listened to her. Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to freak out if I see one in my house and probably burn my entire house down, but for a split second I'd at least feel a tad calm about the situation because of her.

I had a work vehicle that at one time was the home of a man that lived in it in the coastal bush area. I always had a lot of brown spiders in the cab and throughout the bodywork. One day I noticed some legs poking out from under the sun visor and slowly pulling it down I found a juvenile huntsman. I figured it would do pretty well feeding on the brownies so I let it stay. It took up residence in the heater/demister vents and would get mega pissed off when you turned the fan on. Usually I was the only person in the ute so all was good. One evening my wife asked me to drop her off at her Mums as her car was still there so yeah no problem. I had just reversed out onto the road and just moving forward when my wife reaches over and hits the fan switch - before I could even utter any warning - yep my Huntsy mate spat straight out of the air vent and lobbed square in the middle of my wife's chest - the spider was now a couple of seasons old and about the size of my wife's hand - so it landed with a thud. In a ballet type move my wife opened the door and jumped screaming (she's originally from London UK - so she's excused) to the roadway. The spider - triumphant made it's way back under the dash and stayed another year. My wife refused to get back in the car - I had to go get her car and pick her up in it . Also I never had any problem with pesky brown or black bush spiders once the Huntsman moved in. Live and let live.

The best method for huntsman removal is a feather duster, because the spiders love to drop and they do so into the midst of the feathers if you push the duster up to them. Then you can take the spider outside with the duster and give the duster a good shake. The spider generally drops out unharmed buy possibly tickled. My idea.

The only thing scary about them is that they're fast. That's why spiders like tarantulas don't really creep me out nearly as much because they generally are slow moving with the exception of bolting after their prey or to go hide.

I stay in North Florida and I am blessed to say I haven’t seen one yet!

I have a serious fear of spiders but I love learning about them and this biologist is really soothing to listen to. Her mannerisms, tone of voice, and accent, of course, are lovely.

Dr Ann has the best character! I'd love to find a mate like her one day

My wife is a Kiwi. When she came to Australia, she got bitten by a huntsman spider. We were moving furniture. I suspect it fell to the floor and she stood on it. Total accident. I had never known anyone to get bitten by one. She was in considerable pain. She started to panic asking if she was going to die. Meanwhile, I'm calmly googling it because i didn't know. lol No, they are not deadly although the Bird Spider (A huntsman) in Qld has killed the odd person over the centuries. Her foot swelled up for several days, quite significantly, like a bad bee sting. I love this story.

That was a bit strong, I from Australia and huntsman bites aren't too bad, I slept through the bites a few times, but it's probably coz its in our blood to be OK with the bites

I can pick spiders up and stuff but they still startle me when I first notice them. I think it comes from a place of suddenly noticing you’re not the only animal in a room

The speed at which these things jump, would make my heart jump out of my chest with equal speed.

The other day in my science class we were searching for bugs in the school garden I flicked this piece of bark of a tree the piece of bark landed on a girl in my classes head and their were 3 huntsmans that got caught in her hair

If you've put your hand into a prickle weed on a lawn, that's how it feels. That's what I felt, then nothing else, a bee sting is worse.

Such a nice and authentic reaction. it was pleasing to watch :)

If I saw that I would run for my life and my house would be the spider's house.

3:43 what kind of reaction was that? 😂😂😂😂

I can listen to her all day.. her voice is so soothing. I try to tell ppl all the time that huntsman aren't aggressive unless they really have to be

The intro to this video made me put my Qantas ticket in the trash. Maybe I'll just go to the mall. What I love about this video is as a non-Australian, I just assumed all Australians were born with some innate indifference to giant spiders. Like "oh well, it's a giant spider." But these folks are just as freaked out as I would be.

Gives Snow White and The Huntsman a whole new meaning!😂🎉

I love them, they get to stay and they get names. If they start to hang around where you don't want them, it's not that hard to redirect them and they love a good feed of the bugs I DON'T like.

I'm so paranoid now, I'm looking around everywhere!

That's the kind of reaction I have when trying to catch a roach. If it jumps at me, I recoil! I usually do catch 'em, cause I know which way they'll jump. I throw 'em outside 'cause I don't like squishing anything. I have to clean it up! Plus outside are my friends the lizards, who love to catch roaches mid-run. One actually caught one right after I threw it outside. The lizard stopped with the roach sticking out of his mouth, looked at me, nodded, then ran of into his burrow.

"Is it deadly?" Mate I literally got scared by a fly flying to my face

This is the first video I watched on you and I really love hearing you talk. You actually have some humor in your videos and not monotone like a lot of people

Wonderful video! Thank you for the information and it was truly a pleasure to watch you speak with so much love for life and nature.

"...when daddy spider, loves a mommy spider..." that was just golden 😅

I don't have any huntsmen in my apartment, but I do have a rather fine collection of those small broth spindly spiders that like to live in cupboards. I have one in my bathroom and it is my favourite pest control, I quite like gently blowing towards its web because it looks so cute when it gently tugs at its web being like "is there food? There is not food." I don't know why I find it so cute, but I do.

YES!!! You need a container you can see through. So get the right container and a flat piece of card to slide under. My OH just puts them on his hand and carries them outside. I get the vase or glass method. PLEASE DO NOT KILL THEM. They're important in the environment.

This was the most entertaining (and educational) video I've seen all day. Thanks a lot for this! Spiders are the best!

we often have huntsman in the house.usually when a storm is on the way,some stay for weeks at a time some just days.the speed is amazing in any direction.we get up in the morning wondering where he has moved to.

I might be late on the party but I remember one huge huntsman on my bedroom. It probably was a child of the former huntsman spider that always chills in the top of the bathroom walls. I always talk to it to not move towards my clothes, I remember it sprinting towards me then stopping when I give it a sprinkle of water droplets and tell it to stay back because I was taking a shower. I guess the new huntsman on my room has its mother's instinct to move towards me when I am at my bed. Whenever there's someone with me in the room, it runs away as fast as possible away but if it is just me on the room, it moves quickly towards me then stopping if I make gestures but doesn't run away. It then runs away to the far end of my bed and never goes on my bed ever since. It still tries to move towards me if it sees me. Idk why it is fixated on moving towards me if it sees me...pretty weird.

I love these videos!! 😃 You're really awesome, teaching people to just chill and think logically. And spideys are really cool 😎

Ann's reactions are the cutest! She brings life to the videos

If I saw one of those in my house, I'd just leave all my stuff and start over on another continent.

Thanks for the excellent information about the huntsman spider. You are an awesome nature presenter.

I would burn my house down if I ever see one of those horrendous things

I live in Florida, and we have those, too. A lot of people here call them wood spiders because they only show up in houses near a lot of trees. I was just surprised by one the other day which brought me here. This was the second time. The first time, I murdered it with wasp spray after failing to smash it with a stick. This time, I caught it in a clear, plastic container which I set outside with the lid off. Considering my recent cockroach problem, I think I’d like to keep him around even though they are technically invasive here.

I love spiders so much, they know I love them so huntsman are way more calm with me and like me more then others

I met some huntsman spiders in Fiji. They were great roommates. Even made sure I folded my bedsheet every single morning after the one time I pulled the bedsheet back to find the Big One. Couple days later, I met the Bigger One. We got along fine. They’re too fast to fight, and polite as heck.

As a person that keeps spiders, yes huntsman spiders are scary

Ann, you make me smile! Loved the video, informative and funny!
