You shouldn't be too squeamish when you visit Madagascar. Large huntsman spiders like these can walk around your bedroom. This one was walking on my bed. I love them! These are actually nice, since they hunt all kinds of different vermin. Anything they can take on. These can grow the size of your hands.

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 "araña de caballo".
If someone knows the exact genus and species of this one, please let me know.

My new friend. She was found in some bananas from Mexico. You can't see how big she is here, but including her legs, she is about the size of the palm of my hand, not counting fingers.

The interior lighting seems less than optimal for (amateur) photography, although I did manage
to digitally capture a few of the resident sea creatures. Stay tuned . . .
Got home and walked in the door, and this little lady was waiting for me. I believe it's a female. Legspan is about 15 centimetres (6 inches).

Icons for my Capes campaign. They're characters from the board game Tannhauser. The board game comes with miniatures which is why I used these characters for my Capes campaign.
