When I was commuting in Melbourne there were a couple of junctions where you'd bunch up with other cyclists waiting for a filter. This one time someone barged past me with their bike and starting frantically batting away guy infront's dreadlocks. Turns out this other cyclist had spotted a huntsman casually crawling out from underneath the guy's hair ! Such a wild country.

I can sympathise with that.
One time when I was visiting the mother in law in Melbourne I foolishly agreed to help her out by replacing the stumps under the house. Traditional Australian construction supports the floors on stumps (basically sections of telephone pole) and these need to be replaced periodically. The spider man sprayed under there a couple of days before I did the deed but I still felt the need to cover all exposed skin (in 35 degree heat) I also met one or two very big huntsmen spiders. Apparently the sound of me squealing every time something brushed up against me was hilarious.
