Huntsmen always seemed big and hairy to me like the NZ Avondale spider - the ones used in Arachnophobia. As a child with an extremely active imagination - nothing changed there - I used to imagine them going kadoonk, kadoonk, kadoonk along the wall. My mother was sitting in an armchair one evening and an Uncle with a very dry sense of humour said to her "Don't look now Loie but there is a dirty, great, big Avondale spider walking up the front of your chair." Mum looked at him and said "Yeah, yeah, pull the other one." The next minute a pair of hairy legs appeared heading her way from the armrest. I can tell you that she was almost airborne.
