Neosparassus Diana
Spotted this Badge Huntsman killing another spider for da meal. When the toxins started taking effect out popped a parasite from the victims body which was massive. I'm surprised the other spider was alive as it seemed healthy before the huntsman grabbed it.

Okay, I've just got into bed, about to turn out the bedside lamp and go to sleep, and something makes me look at the ceiling.
"Aaaargh, a Huntsman! Quick Hubby, get the spider jar!" He dutifully catches it, dancing on the bed to do so, and puts the jar over by the door, and the spider will be put out in the garden in the morning.
I've got used to them now - there are so many - but when I first moved to Australia these large, scurrying spiders freaked me out. They often hide behind curtains, or worse, in the car and pop out from behind the visor when you're driving along.

Huntsman spider. (Sparassidae, formerly Heteropodidae). Also known as giant crab spiders, wood spiders, and rain spiders. They are not dangerous although they will bite if handled. They are nocturnal and excellent climbers. They do not build webs, but hunt and eat insects and spiders smaller than themselves. The largest spiders in this family, up to 12 inches across, are found in Asia. The ones in Guatemala reach up to 6 inches across. This one is about 4 inches across. The locals here call them "tarantulas" which they are not. We also have tru tarantulas but locally those are called "araƱa de caballo".
If someone knows the exact genus and species of this one, please let me know.
