        I think it's a huntsman tarantula. They get shipped with bananas all the time. They are poisonous.

                    That was a cool looking spider! It wasn't a banana spider (I've seen plenty of them down here ) JOHN

                        I think you are right Lonnie. They can run really fast and they can also spring. They lift their legs into a scary looking attack position to warn you if you get too close. They come inside during rainy weather, often have hairy legs, and are often as big as my hand.

                        One time I had one walk down my face inside my full-face helmet whilst riding my motorcycle. Luckily I was near my destination, pulled over and got my helmet off but it ran down my back inside my shirt. They like to grip on (as you can read in that Wiki article above). I finally got it out and flicked it away.

                        I went off to work and forgot about it, then on the way home it climbed up the gas tank and reared in attack position at me. I had had enough by then and gave it a flying lesson at 100km per hour.

                          We get wolf spiders and black widows where I live all the time. (sometimes a brown recluse, but that's rather rare)... we keep foaming wasp spray on hand at home. Why? It kills fast, from a safe distance, and it's fun too.

                          (black widows and brown recluses are super poisonous, wolf spiders look enough like a brown recluse from afar that I'm not taking the chance.)
