      My Australian friend lets them live in the house but I'm wary of any invertebrate that will make off with strips of bacon CW: meat

      I mean I love them and don't chase them out of the house but when one fell on me when I was showering that was a bit much.

      It's not fair to them, they're extremely passive creatures unless protecting babies. Like it takes minutes of threatening one's life to get them to maybe bite. But they are as large as a spread hand and extremely fast and that is just surprising.

          I had a related discussion with a friend on Monday about her fear of moths. I love them and she can appreciate that they're 'cute' from some perspectives, but it's the unexpected, erratic movement at night time and wing dust that pushes it into phobia territory for her.

              It's also like, they're only flying erratically because they think they're being predated and are trying to get away from you/towards a light source. It's not their fault that their navigation is messed up.

      I lived in aus for a few years and I liked seeing huntsmen because it meant that they were not all being eaten by those loud ass invasive geckos
