Since we moved to Hawaii, people have told us about cane spiders. I was told that cane spiders have been known to send many a Haoli screaming back to the mainland. Today we finally saw one. It greeted me in our garage when I got home from work. Like all of our Hawaii pictures, this one doesn't do the real thing justice. It was very big and impressive.
The stick in the picture is a broom handle, so you can sort of tell how big the spider is. Because I had been expecting to someday see one, I didn't freak out. I just did a little gasp and called Mike the Mighty Bug Hunter to come get it. He got it on the mop and took it outside.
I honestly don't think I have ever purposely allowed a spider to live before, but this one was magnificent and I know that he is not only harmless to humans, but beneficial. He eats mosquitos, flies, and cockroaches. I am WAY more afraid of cockroaches than of spiders.
