I've seen bigger spiders in my life but this the biggest in this house by a long way. Was hanging out on the garage wall yesterday. Seems to have disappeared today.
What kind of spider is this? Western Australia

A huntsman spider, probably Holconia sp.

Ditto, looks different from the ones I'm used to in NSW, but it has the same vibe

This whole community should be NSFW. lol

That would severely limit the visibility of posts which kind of goes against the idea of communities like this, which is to educate people about bugs. I understand it can be upsetting for people with arachnophobia and feel free to block the communities, but preemptively soft-censoring any content that might upset people isn't very healthy. In the end it's just a picture of an animal.

I know you were joking, but people actually suggest this from time to time.
