Piggy back
This poor huntsman has a parasitic larvae on it's back. The spider might not be aware of the parasite until it is too late where the larvae would trigger the spider into committing suicide by wrapping itself. Certain wasps are known to bury their eggs on spiders so the larvae can have limitless food supply.
