A fairly large huntsman spider, almost the size of my hand. Caught with a tupperware container and released on a tree in a nearby park.

Nice one! I’m glad you put her in a safer spot.

Huntsmen are a bit less scary if you think of their feet as clown shoes.

  Huntsman don’t scare me at all but my mrs isn’t quite as nonchalant about them.
  
  When catching it my biggest concern was squishing legs… they can move fast and make it difficult to catch cleanly.
