At the end of the successful search for clues, Hagerman nevertheless had an uneasy feeling... Have fun!
At what end of the food chain are we right now?
Typostola barbata in the family Sparassidae
This is normally a timid species. It is very unusual to see it out in the open in the middle of the day. There was a lot of spider wasp activity in the vicinity and birds are a constant threat, so it is quite vulnerable where it was on the side of a plastic rain water tank. Possibly it's habitat had been destroyed as a tree was felled nearby.
This individual was about 200mm from toe to toe.
There are 94 catalogued species of Hunstman in Australia.
This was taken in South Coast NSW, Australia.

NB. This image has artistic edit applied for fun - but colours/markings are true to life and I feel sufficient detail remains to be helpful/enjoyable to viewers.
I understand that our Australian Heteropoda species are difficult to distinguish from each other without the aid of a microscope, so I will leave this at genus level.
The markings on their upper surfaces vary slightly from specimen to specimen but not greatly from species to species.

Huntsman, the Search and Rescue mouse, done tonight in response to my friend losing their keys this evening. I was going to encourage Calderdale Rockers to go out help searching tomorrow by hiding some rocks around the area. Fortunately they’ve found the keys, perhaps Huntsman’s a lucky talisman?
I’ll hide him anyway 😊

A Huntsman Spider in my bathroom this evening. Not sure of the species, but it has a nice orange forehead!
On a 2 hours night walk through the gardens of our lodge we saw so many different wilidlife species like that giant huntsman spider (at least i guess that's the name)...if you're afraid of spiders, not a good place to be ;-) Kaeng Krachan NP, Thailand

Huntsman spiders are rather hairy and can be as wide as 15 cm. Their front legs are larger than the back ones and bend forwards like those of a crab. This shape also allows them to crawl in all directions very quickly.
There are 94 known species of Huntsman in Australia but it’s believed there are plenty more yet to be discovered.

Singapore celebrates her 51st birthday today, so here's a tiny collection of close-ups of one of the most majestic spider families in Singapore - the Huntsman Spiders (Sparassidae)!
I have over 1200 photos of huntsman spiders in my Sparassidae Flickr collection, so I thought that finding shots of their faces would be easy-peasy. Turned out that the process of short-listing would never be perfect and many shots were dropped for better variety in this collection of 51 huntsman portraits.

Day 194. We're off camping in a few days at a music festival, so have been pulling together all my camping equipment in preparation. This is my trusty Huntsman Swiss Army Knife.

Huntsman spiders so often find themselves within our human homes here in Australia.
They are superb pest control, going after insects such as cockroaches.
This female spotted high up on my lounge wall, just under the ceiling. She is within genus Heteropoda, commonly known as giant huntsman.

EXPLORE #134
Sparassidae (formerly Heteropodidae) are a family of spiders known as huntsman spiders 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 (forest, 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.
More than a thousand Sparassidae species occur in most warm temperate to tropical regions of the world, including much of Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas.

A different view.
Myself and Eathan Douglas have been working together today out searching and talking. He is studying to be an Arachnologist. He has written this little piece of info about the female below and has also inspired me to make more ventral images like this one.
Here is is his info below
Several huntsman spider species from genus Isopeda look almost outwardly identical, without a very close and careful look at the cheliceral setae or an examination of the spiders genitalia for instance, they’re difficult to discern between, another thing that’s worth being paid attention to is the ventral surface. (Distribution is very useful too)
Isopeda prolata, a similar species to isopeda montana has black coxae (joint that joins the legs to the cephalothorax) while Montana’s are grey and noticeably less bold
