Long front legs usually indicates huntsman spider
I hope it’s still alive. Hard to tell in this picture
I didn’t harm it so I think it is.
Aww thank you for being a friend!
The preview just showed me the feet and I immediately knew it was a Huntsman.
Huntsman feet are so cute 🥰
Spiders paws make my heart melt
I remember when I moved countries (from no spiders to spiders), one night at like 2am I saw this guy in the corner of my room. I’ve never been so scared in my life.
Turns out these are the best bros you can have and they ate all the cockroaches and unwanted bugs.
I saw this huntsman’s spider in an Airbnb rental I was staying at. It was hiding in the curtains. Honestly he choose the right house because the place, while very nice, was over run by many little insects, so I hope his belly was hungry.
Yeah he looks starving to me. Not sure about this species in particular, but generally the abdomen of a huntsman is roughly the same size as the frontal part, so he does have a lot of belly to fill.
Hard to tell without a scale but it does look a bit thin, then again aren't male huntsmen usually longer and thinner in the abdomen anyway?
"Come at me, bro."
the legs and body shape makes me thinks it's a huntsman!!
why is its abdomen so small?
Huntsman spider (Sparassidae).
Probably one of the Heteropoda species.
