Bett - I was going to say the same thing since I had no idea at all, or knowledge of these ungainly beasts!
You could drop it in the container, add some water and there would be no more problems!
Not harmful (non venemous?) to humans?? | |

Never seen anything like it. Not hairy like that, that for sure.
What did it measure Deano? | |

I have measured from the rear big legs to the front legs, not the trailing web spinners.
70mm.
The suggestion is its a female, males are slightly brown in colour.
It is a Tunnelweb ground spider.

A big scary one. Spiders of that size have me screaming and fleeing, well shuffling as fast as I can! | |

Yep, looks like a tunnel web spider. We found one similar in our bathtub one day! Our one had a brown abdomen, which I think makes it a male. You have the female. | |
