• As long as the size doesn’t bug you, you’d probably enjoy huntsman spiders. They prefer eating other insects and even other spiders, and generally leave people alone, even run away from us. They dont spin webs, they eat any bug they can get, including venomous insects. They love eating mosquitoes and cockroachs. If for some reason you feel like attacking one, dont, not only are they helpful, they can jump quite a distance and are faster than you at their peak speed.

      This is why I love jumping spiders.

      I’d be terrified of a huntsmen spider, but I love jumping spiders i leave them be whenever I see them, knowing that they will snack on all the fruit flies, moths, and mosquitoes that make it into my house.
