What a huntsmen does at night will have you sleeping under the pillow.
A spider expert has revealed some spine-tingling habits of one of our most common house guests.
Australian Reptile Park ranger Michael Tate spoke to presenters John Stanley and Garry Linnell on their 2UE radio show about the not-so deadly beasts.
Tate said by the time a person reaches their mid 30s several huntsman spiders will have crawled over their face.
“By the time you’re 35 years old, and if you’re living in Sydney, several huntsmen will have walked across your face during your sleep,” he said.
“Huntsmen can walk across you and you wouldn’t know.”
The ranger said the spiders appreciate the benefits of a full and bushy brow.
“It’s very likely that someone may have had prey caught on their face by a huntsman. Bushy eyebrows are the perfect hunting ground for a spider,” he said.
Watch out, Cara.
Tate was sure to remind listeners that huntsmen could also be a very useful guest to have around the home.
