Huntsman spiders, members of the family Sparassidae (formerly Heteropodidae), are known by this name because of their speed and mode of hunting. They also are called giant crab spiders because of their size and appearance. Larger species sometimes are referred to as wood spiders, because of their preference for woody places (forests, mine shafts, woodpiles, wooden shacks). In southern Africa the genus Palystes are known as rain spiders or lizard-eating spiders. Commonly they are confused with baboon spiders from the Mygalomorphae infraorder, which are not closely related.
Hard subject to photograph, this spider is just too fast and big (about 15cm legspan) and I've seen bigger.
We also didn't get on well enough for me to remove the parasite on its head.

New I9 11spd CX wheelset - Hutchinson's 23c set up tubeless. He'd got room for 32c+. When I ordered the wheels, I9 did not have the rims in this width with black ano sidewalls (Client wants to be able to run 23c tires and have the option to run 32c). But they recently will be getting a batch in with black ano sidewalls. So Paul will be sending them back to have them swapped. I9 making things right!

Stay clear my basement...
Strange to say this guy looked friendly. Just came out of the burrow to check me and the electrician.
Anyone knows more about the species?
