    Nice. I’ve never seen one that big (other than zoos and rescues) but I’m from neither Australia or Vietnam.

    I don’t mind spiders, but those huge ones are slightly concerning (to me).

      I’m pretty sure I’ve seen bigger! I’m okay with them usually, but they can make you uneasy. I had one living under my car bonnet for about a month in one occasion, the guy would come out at dusk and scare the shit out of me while driving. He would run all over the outside of the car and not fall, which is remarkable considering I did up to 70kms ph.

        Wow. What an absolute unit.

        Yeah, looking online, the one in the post would be small. Although I’m not sure what I don’t like more, big spiders, or house centipedes. Probably the latter. I know they’re all good for eating other bugs though. I just don’t like them.

        Edit: just realized how you typed the speed. Is that the regular way you would? I’m used to km/h.
