There was this huge spider in my bathroom. I was told it might be a huntsman, I just know it was creepy!!
It's not dead, and I put it outside, after shooing it's creepy self into a box.

I'm so envious. :-D

Here is a Wiki about the Huntsman, it looks like they are native to Australia but have been found in FL.

I personally think it's a "Brown Creepy Spider Who Should Stay Out of Wolfy's House".
I didn't even think about the title! Sorry bout that!! LOL.

That would have been a great one for my collection as a kid. Mom used to have a fit over my jars of spiders.
