I think this came from Aus. and possibly brought in on my parents luggage..Got MAF to come and take it away. It was later identified as a pregnant (!) female huntsman from NSW....sad to see it go after i got over the initial shock of seeing it loom large across the window when i opened the curtains one morning.....honestly, it looked MUCH bigger in the morning light!
