I was just about to say. Saw a Dateline/2020 thing on them a while back, about soldiers in Iraq getting f’d by these things, crawling in to tents and in to soldiers beds. ACk!

If you’ve ever held a tarantula you’ve probably held a bigger more dangerous spider. Their max size is 6" across and they’re non-venemous.
