Huntsman spiders
They are large, and they gallop across your ceiling like demented gazelles, chasing down cockroaches.
However, they're nonaggressive to humans, you'd have to seriously harrass one to provoke it into biting you, and the worst they could do to you is a beesting-like bite.
They're also all named Kevin.
I sincerely hope you aren’t lying because I will accept this as fact and act accordingly should I ever see something I think is a huntsman spider
There's apparently one subspecies of huntsman that could make you a bit nauseous and headachey, but the majority aren't going to do more than hurt a bit. And yeah, they're cool.
Of course, I'm not going to take responsibility if you misidentify something else as a huntsman...
Oops, that was a 2011 Ford Mondeo coming straight at me, not a huntsman spider.
Not again!
