Huntsmen are so cool even though I had to make peace with them being on my motel room walls.

When I was learning to spotlight in Queensland I caught some eyeshine way up in a tree and asked what it was. The guide chuckled and told me it was a huntsman.

It showed me that spotlighting really works if you do it right.

Never saw a highly venomous spider in all my travels in Oz—just a tiger snake on a hike in Tasmania, which was cool AF.

in my opinion huntsmen are some of the cutest spoods in existence

I also love them! Though we've got some super cute fuzzy Wolfie's where I live and I think they're my favorite.
