It's real but it's an optical illusion. While it lives all over the world (except in cold areas) the brown huntsman spider rarely gets larger than 6 inches in overall size.
The pics of it you will find online show it next to small bugs (in this case nats) to make it look larger...
nah, it depends. I like the medium sized ones; they dont bit you because they're too big, but they dont scare the f*ck out of you like the big ones either
I like all spiders except those clear white ones that live on the ceiling and sometimes lower themselves down to bite you in your sleep. They are a**holes. 🕷🕷🕷
