Huntsman Spider (Sparassidae)

Huntsman Spider (Sparassidae), Silver Ridge Retreat, Tasmania, Australia

 

Sparassids are eight-eyed spiders. The eyes appear in two largely forward-facing rows of four on the anterior aspect of the prosoma. Many species grow very large – in Laos, Heteropoda maxima males attain a legspan of 250–300 mm (about 10–12 in).
