Figured this would fit in (linked it rather than direct posted it since the picture is fairly big, plus dunno how our resident arachnophobics would like it, despite how memetastic it is. Chances are fireheart has already seen this one before though =p)

It was only a matter of time until Clock Spider made an appearance.

Yep. The good ol' Huntsman spider. I'm not arachnophobic, but those things would keep me from living in Australia/NZ/Japan, etc. And it's not the size that would get me (ok, not JUST the size). The fact that they can get through a small opening would freak me out. I read an anecdote online somewhere that the writer watched one squeeze between the panes of his closed windows!
Whether it's true or not I have no idea, but there's a lot of people saying they've found them in their cars. Thanks, but no thanks.

Considering how small their bodies are in relation to their legs, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that they can crawl through tiny spaces.

They're pretty timid, though, so people shouldn't have any reason to fear them.
