Huntsman have always made me nervous because of how quickly they move \u2013 they give me the heebie jeebies.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I first noticed the spider while she was still outside, just in the top corner of my bedroom window.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I actually thought it was a microbat at first because she was very pregnant, she was huge!<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Jokingly I said to my mum &#8216;I hope she doesn&#8217;t go in my room overnight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Well the next morning I opened my curtain and there she was.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But Kristy, a free-range chicken farmer, didn&#8217;t have the heart to turf her out.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8216;I was originally going to relocate her, but then I felt bad because she&#8217;d probably get eaten by a bird outside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So she made her egg sac and I started to educate myself on huntsman spiders so I could look after my new roommate and not be as scared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I misted the window near her daily, making sure not to wet her eggs, so she could have a drink if she needed it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Other than that I just let her be, I didn&#8217;t want to stress her out.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Kristy continued: &#8216;I was nervous and still am a little bit \u2013 I keep picturing my room overrun by galloping giants, or waking up in the morning with one on my face or something.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/10\/78589725-12826839-image-a-32_1701770792298.jpg\" height=\"532\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/10\/78589727-12826839-image-m-31_1701770788114.jpg\" height=\"532\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>The egg sac can be seen on the inside of Kristy&#8217;s window bubbling as the spiders start to hatch.\u00a0Dozens of them then emerge in scenes that are likely to bring about nightmares for arachnophobes<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But I&#8217;ve managed to overcome my fear through educating myself, and I&#8217;ve learnt just how fascinating they really are.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I still get nervous when they move quickly though.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, Kristy&#8217;s decision caused some controversy at home.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8216;My parents live with me and my dad wasn&#8217;t too happy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My mum was a little bit more understanding because neither of us like killing things. I have a soft spot for all the critters deemed unlovable.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Kristy has been told that the spiders are social huntsmans.<\/p>\n<p>The social huntsman, or Delena cancerides, is part of the Sparassidae family, which includes the world&#8217;s largest spider by leg span \u2013 the giant huntsman.<\/p>\n<p>Social huntsman are huge too \u2013 capable of reaching a leg span of nearly eight inches \u2013 and they can lay some 200 eggs in their egg sacs.<\/p>\n<p>Kristy said: &#8216;They can stay with their babies for six months after they hatch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So I get to see them grow up, and they can catch flies and mosquitoes for me in the meantime, unless they decide to move on.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/05\/10\/78589879-12826839-image-a-76_1701771689187.jpg\" height=\"858\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The huntsman had found its way between the inner and outer layers of Kristy&#8217;s sliding windows<\/p>\n<p>Now Kristy is encouraging others not to fear the giant spiders \u2013 even if they&#8217;ve got scores of babies in tow.<\/p>\n<p>She said: &#8216;If you don&#8217;t want it there, just relocate it, otherwise let it do its thing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They&#8217;re fantastic bug catchers and usually stay out of your way.

You usually fear the unknown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;All critters are just trying to survive, and go about their day and have just as much right as us to be here.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12826839\/Arachnophobes-look-away-Horrifying-moment-dozens-huntsman-eggs-hatch-Aussies-bedroom-spider-nightmares.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arachnophobes look away now!
