Harmless to Humans
It's one of the few spiders found in Okinawa that doesn't spin webs.
If you spot one around your house, consider yourself lucky.
They eat cockroaches.
This rascal was spotted out by the back door to my office, today.
Hopefully, it's guarding the place so, no bugs can get in.
Luckily, I had time to grab a camera and flash to capture it for you.
If my wife or, the gals next door see this spider, it's a goner.
They squish or, spray the poor things like they are some sort of natural enemy.
This one is probably only half grown.
There's one of my flip-flops, to give a sense of scale.
When they grow up, they can be as large as a human's hand.
What would you rather have, one of these or, 100 cockroaches in your house?

That's an Okinawan Brown Spider. Harmless, albeit scary looking. I see these almost everyday near my house in Okinawa. I don't mind them so much anymore.
