As already mentioned, we call them huntsmen. My house is full of them, all my houses have been. I don't deter them, they keep cockroaches and other pests away. I have found some Golden Orb Spiders even bigger. I did remove a huntsman from a house once, is was the size of a small dinner plate (in the middle of the night anyway).

Imagine that! An animal eating another animal. Where are the vegans when you need them?
How immoral of these spiders? Maybe some vegan can talk to them?
Incidently, there are 600 species of parasitic wasps, one of which attacks tarantulas by paralyzing them with a neurotoxin keeping them alive, laying eggs on the body and the hatchlings eat the tarantula alive. Now there is a diabolical event created by god or evolution?

Oh hell no!
