>Spiders included, I think they're wonderful creatures

>It's my parents
>"Anon, are you awake? Please help"
>Was led to an area in my house by them
>Huge huntsman spider, legspan almost as wide as my palm
>They're terrified of it and want me to kill it
>Huntsman spiders are, as its name suggests, huge, fast, and have really good reflexes; as intimidating and imposing as spiders can get
>this means trying to catch it gently without hurting it is almost impossible for me, it would just get away real fast
>not to mention my parents will be in terror for days if it happens, and they'll get mad at me
>"ANON HURRY BEFORE IT GETS AWAY"
>had to kill it quickly with a roll of newspaper
