The species we have here in Utah are much smaller. 1" or so max. Usually just get mistaken for a spider. But they're here for sure.
I caught 2 in South Africa once (of the large kind (4-5 inches across)). I only had one container (mayo jar) with a lid, so they both went in there... One got the jump on the other and devoured it all. Literally at it whole. While I watched. Talk about heebie jeebies.

The climate is perfect here for the big ones. Species contamination is just one of the things the military is worried about with returning troops and gear. We had to wash and inspect everything before it was then inspected by others. I would hate to have those monsters around here too.
On a side note; they are fast. We built wood floors in our tents to make life more comfortable and you could hear the little monsters run across the floor; tickity-tickity-tickity-tickity. Fast.
