    Edit: Here is a tid bit about these spiders!

    Sparassidae (formerly Heteropodidae) are a family of spiders known as huntsman spiders because of their speed and mode of hunting. They also are called giant crab spiders, because of their size and appearance. Larger species sometimes are referred to as wood spiders, because of their preference for woody places (forest, mine shafts, woodpiles, wooden shacks), or clock spiders.
    They're pretty common in Aus, even in urban / city areas.

    There are some centipedes about the same size in my country as well. They are even a bit poisonous and much darker than this one. We generally kill them before they can bite anyone.

    Man, don't kill the poor centipede!
    Having one in your house actually keeps you safe from worse insects, like spiders and roaches!

    that's nothing, I had better "encounter" in Nov 2011. I live in central/eastern EU. At that time we have winter with temp. approx -10*C (14*F) with some snow and other cold stuff. So one night (around midnight) I was already in bed while my wife was finishing her evening bath time. I was almost asleep when suddenly I hear loud slamming comming from the bathroom. Next thing is my wife waking me and with shaking voice stating that we have a... pay attention...a scorpion in the house.

    Whaaa? Where? What scorpion? They don't live in our climate and it's too freaking cold outside for one to travel across. But I see that she is frightened. Okie then, I'll go and see that "scorpion" (mumbling something about women and their fear of small bugs).

    So I enter bathroom and what I see? F*cking dead ~10cm (3.9in) black scorpion (pincer to tail straight line), killed with 1litre shampoo bottle . And i'm not dreaming. Scorpion. In my house. In the middle of winter. damn.

    After some investigation we came to a conclusion: early that morning wife did some shopping and bough some bananas. That bug must have been brought to our house hidden in those bananas. When it got dark and calm it went in search for more suitable place to hide. So it entered bathroom (warm, humid and dark under bath tube) while my wife was using some body balm...

    My woman's a hero. instead of screaming she smashed unwelcome guest. Remembre - don't enter bathroom that is occupied by a woman.

    Cool thing is: Mosquitoes aren't useful at all, and the entire system wouldn't even notice their absence :3

    reminds me of the time that cockroach got lose in my room and I couldn't sleep, because dad was sleeping on the lounge and family were in the spare room. Pretty much sat on my computer chair all night with my feet on my desk watching the entire season of the walking dead. Wasn't fun
