Lol! Old thread but I had to laugh! It's happened to me plenty of times! Usually it's when I try to catch them on the wall with a jar and they jump onto your face! Instantly you can make karate moves that would shame Bruce Lee!

Some huntsmans out the other night, one in the kitchen and one in the loungeroom. The one in the kitchen was immediately into a jumping pose as soon as I got near it, then the flash was really freaking it out. If you look you can see by the shadows that it is standing off the wall ready to jump if I came closer.
