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 Huntsman Marine Science Centre, with its Fundy Discovery Aquarium, is located in the town of
St. Andrews on the Bay of Fundy coast in southern New Brunswick. A most interesting place!
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).
Huntsman spider, family Sparassidae. Not sure of the species. Possibly Delena cancerides?
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.

This Huntsman decided that his horse could jump the fence almost from a standing start. He was showing off to the crowd and nearly fell off!
This Huntsman spider was on the outside of my glass door last night. You are looking at its underbelly which I think is quite interesting (if not pretty freaky!). I think the web coming out of its spinneret (sorry, no idea of spelling?) and anchored to the glass is particularly interesting.
Hollywood used Huntsmans in the movie Arachnophobia
Found this Brown Huntsman Spider on the wheel of an old hive trolley. After closer inspection I realized that it had lost one of it`s legs.
Spot drawing for the final assignment of my illustration class. Scene where the Huntsman kills the dog guarding the gates to the castle.
Huntsman Spiders are found living under loose bark on trees, in crevices on rock walls and in logs, under rocks and slabs of bark on the ground, and on foliage. Dozens of the social huntsman species, Delena cancerides, can be seen sitting together under bark on dead trees and stumps (notably wattles) but they can also be found on the ground under rocks and bark slabs. Badge Huntsman Spiders are often found on foliage but some woodland species are burrow builders, with and without trapdoors. Huntsman spiders of many species sometimes enter houses. They are also notorious for entering cars, and being found hiding behind sun visors or running across the dashboard.
Huntsman spiders (Sparassidae, formerly Heteropodidae) is a family of spiders also known as the giant crab spiders, due to their appearance.
Many huntsman spiders are dull shades of brown or grey. Their legs are covered with fairly prominent spines, but the rest of their bodies appear smooth. They are frequently found in sheds, garages and other infrequently-disturbed places.
The eyesight of these spiders is not nearly as good as that of the Salticidae (jumping spiders). Nevertheless, their vision is quite sufficient to detect approaching humans or other large animals from some distance.
