While they are huge, this article is false. Wombats may have multiple burrows but can obviously only occupy one at a time and there is no such herding happening.

I would like to point out that huntsman spiders are also afraid of humans. So if they see you, their day is ruined as well. Some of them are actually way more social than a lot of humans - they live with their family of up to 300 members (maybe don't think too long about that if you see one in your home), they share their food with each other and their bite (if they bite at all, because they really want to stay away from humans) is harmless to humans. Meaning your bite could hurt the poor thing much, much more than the other way around. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/388489-Delena-cancerides

Internet tells me not dangerous - bite is quite mild for humans. But LOL at some of the official advice. Like - "Don't squash them with your bare feet" and "Don't sleep in the same room as them because they might bite you". Yeah, cuz I needed professionals to advise me against doing those things. lololol

Huntsman are found all over the globe. The biggest I've seen was the size of my hand about 6 1/2 inches or 16cm. He scared me because I didn't know it was there but since I was on a horse farm and the flies were murderous I decided we needed all the help we got.

Both a horrifying AND exciting challenge... as someone who's a fan of the "catch and release" method of dealing with spiders that get in the house, I'm pretty sure this would be more of a 'bucket-on-a-stick' than a 'jar-in-hand' situation...

Take large Tupperware bowl. Place over spider. Carefully slide large sheet of stiff paper under edge of bowl. Remove from wall, taking care to keep the bowl covered with the paper. Walk to bottom of garden, tip out spider, and run like your life depends on it.
