I mentioned I’d left out a huntsman spider I saw in Malaysia in the post below, and here it is! I spotted it on a rock beneath a small cave or overhang while on a night walk.

this one had everything; legspan, “teleportation” speed, and gorgeous colors. didn’t like me very much, though!

if you notice that its left leg 3 is slightly shorter and a different color, that’s most likely because it was lost a few molts ago, but grew back over the course of said molts & is almost good as new.

I met a new species of Huntsman today, from a genus I've wanted to see for a long time! this girl is an (appropriately-named) Beautiful Badge Huntsman (Neosparassus calligaster).

spiders in the genus Neosparassus are unique for having a bright 'badge' marking on the underside of the abdomen (in the case of N. calligaster, it is a large black triangular shape), which they display when threatened.

this lady was very relaxed however, and I'm not one to antagonise an animal for the sake of a picture! aside from her abdominal 'badge', she has striking markings on her face and legs, in the form of contrasting bands and lovely white spots on the underside of her legs.

HUNTSMAN SPIDER (Sparassidae): Olios giganteus, “giant crab spider”

[Bonus exuvia behind cut because I don’t expect anyone else to think it’s cool lol]

So the legspan on the male Olios giganteus that left this exoskeleton I found had to have been at least 2 inches, almost palm-sized. Which means now that its molted, it’s bigger than that. And if there are females around here somewhere, they’re even bigger than that 😮

Curicaberis sp.

Huntsman spider (no genus common name)

Araña cangrejo gigante

6 of August 2022 — Jalisco, MX

A big boi, this gentleman was the size of my hand, and was absolutely gorgeous. He took me a bit to ID as I hadn’t seen anything like him. The large pedipalps (‘extra legs near the face’) indicate he is a male. When I was looking up information on the species, I learned these spiders apparently have the coolest name in Chile “Araña cazadora del Dios del Fuego” which means ‘hunting spider of the God of Fire.’ Hermanos chilenos ustedes sí entienden, you guys know what’s up.

Large female brown huntsman (aka jungle huntsman) resting under a log beside a pair of iridescent semi-slugs. I love huntsman spiders, they get a bad rap because of how fast they can move, but they're beautiful, docile gentle giants ❤️ 🕷
