    Killing spiders is a scam by big fly/mosquito/insert insect of choice.

        We let huntsman spiders live in our houses, they’re harmless and keep other insects down. That one has been eating well. They’re not often that big

          Yes, I know that Huntsman are calm and not dangerous for humans ¹, as mostly the bigger spiders are not, dangerous are some smaller ones (few, also in Australia), but anyway I would try to sleep with my mouth closed.

            I’m sure they would only venture onto you if they were persuing something that already ran onto you

            You’re big and scary and dangerous to something as small as a dinner plate sized spider, they’re not going to risk walking on megafauna (did you know we are megafauna?)

            Tiny spiders might not have the perspective to recognise that we’re living things, but they crawl on us when we’re awake. Huntsmans keep a distance from us, and think they’re perfectly camouflaged while they stand still, as they are when they’re not on an ivory white wall

        Second, find a take-away container, scoop the spider into the container

        What, like an excavator?
