OMG! That picture just made me shudder down my spine and now I'm itchy. I cannot STAND spiders or any bug type thing.

cameragirl21 replied: wow, if I saw an 11 inch spider I think I might faint. I thought our 2+ inch cockroaches here were bad.
According to wiki, they live in FL but I've never seen one here. Supposedly they are good for the garden so Nina you should have just moved it there, lol. If they eat all the cockroaches here, as wiki claims they eat insects then they are welcome here, anything is better than these nasty flying roaches.

We don't get them down here as much as in the tropical far north. Still gross though, at least it was outside. I tell you what, it is freaking terrible to find a huntsman spider on your wall. Especially if you've been in the room for awhile and never spotted it before

I'm not putting it on my garden, lol. We mostly have trees, the only garden we hav is a vegetable patch. That dirty thing isn't going anywhere near something I will one day eat, lol.

But man those things and HUGE and scary! I would probably run and cry if I saw one.

ETA: BTW where are you from? Just wondering because I had never heard of those before.

Nina J replied: I'm from Australia. Most members here assume I am from the US, lol, even though I mention things about my country...no one ever asks about it, lol. If you met me, you would know. I have quite a strong accent. I should do a voice recording for you
