Hunting spiders we have occasionally stay up high for a week or more indoors, not the same as this one detailed above.
Always interesting learning about insects that arrive seasonally.

Ah, so the spiders in KZN are just as weird as here, haha. I find more spiders inside than I do when I go looking through the veld. Makes it easier to catalog them, at least. Even in winter, a lot of spider and insect activity, but perhaps because the Karoo is warmer than the eastern half of SA? When I was still in Sasolburg, arthropods in winter was unheard of.
Plenty of spiders around all year, small to large you get to see them indoors and outdoors, some really make themselves at home.
Visiting Grahamstown years ago it rained profusely for a couple of days, our family told us to watch the ceilings for the large flat 'rain spiders' coming down the walls, yes the size of your fist!
My motto in life for any living thing is leave it alone... 😅
Oh, awesome! Yeah, flatties can get quite big. Luckily they're gentle giants, haha. And funny when they wobble when they run.
Some species very beautiful and fun to see.
