That is a Banana Spider and apparently native to Hong Kong. LOOK HOW BIG IT IS! My skin is crawling! Eurgh eurgh eurgh. That is one spider that wouldn't fit under a glass. I really hope Jo, my flatmate, is good with bugs!

There's a whole thread about bugs on the GeoExpat site: http://www.geoexpat.com/forum/insect-t19818.html
