Piotr Naskrecki was taking a nighttime walk in a rainforest in Guyana, when he heard rustling as if something were creeping underfoot. When he turned on his flashlight, he expected to see a small mammal, such as a possum or a rat.

"When I turned on the light, I couldn't quite understand what I was seeing," said Naskrecki, an entomologist and photographer at Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology.

At first glimpse I thought it must have been a new discovery in Australia. Aren't they sold as pets in the US?

That's one scaring spider.

Knowing it is not venomous like the humans helps.

I had about 8 huge huntsmen run up my arm once. A nanosecond later there were 8 squashed spider dead on my arm. I had nightmares over it and it took me hours for the adrenaline to drop. I was 11.
