Huntsman
Taiwan, April and May 2024
This seven legged Huntsman was in our bathroom. My wife usually panics when she sees a spider at home. After discovering this one (15 cm) near the toilet she remained completely calm and called me. "Is that a real spider?", she asked. Ehmm yes. The host of the B&B came with a butterfly net and tried to catch it. No way. Man are these Huntsmen fast! Eventually he beat it to death with his flip-flop. Poor animal.
