If that's a huntsman spider, it looks like a baby tarantula. I used to
let tarantulas crawl up my arm to impress my friends. The hardest part
is just to find them. They cross Nevada roads in the Fall.
Their bite is said to be akin to a bee sting, but my friends didn't know
that. Let them crawl on your arm. Don't monkey with them while they're
doing that. Everybody says "Wow!" when you're done.
Try it the next time you find a tarantula.
Conversely, I kill black widows as soon as I find them, or at least, the
females. There's a few in my garage, but they're behind heavy stuff.
One other thing, tarantulas don't scurry, they lumber.
Enough of me, for now. :)

 I've never been stung by a bee but I'd imagine that it's not too
painful.

Tojo, da Hawaiians don't even notice it when a bee stings them.
Only Da asians behave as if a cobra just bit them.  Loose control of their bowels and bladder, etc.
