Limousine spider.
They also appear to be smart, aggressive, and territorial. I have been chased by several. And I have run away with great haste.
Well I guess sleep is optional tonight
While I know they’re harmless that has not stopped from committing war crimes against one that found its way to my shower.
They don’t scare you enough? Imagine them as Eldritch abominations.
I would far rather the spiders in my house eat these things.
A house centipede is just 4 spiders in a trench coat.
I don’t think they can. Once a centipede is of decent size I think it’s much stronger than the average house Spider. Australia notwithstanding.
Can confirm that our house spiders are pretty tough. A car ran off the road and into the front wall of my house spider last year and it barely left a mark. We still live here.
It’s their suddenness that freaks me out. I had been sitting on my couch for two hours the other night when one scuttled out from beneath my feet!
I think these bois, much like “spider crickets”, get a lot of flack because their legs are TOO DAMN LONG! They’re cool dudes, but something about those weirdly long legs…
I doubt this will help my deep discomfort but it did make me happy :)
