Huntsman Spider (Sparassidae)
 |
| Where: I found this huntsman spider in my garage, on the Gold Coast running under my moms car. |
 |
| Size: Huntsman spiders can grow up to 30cms which is about the size of my school ruler. Very big! This one was about 10cm and is a female because she is carrying her eggs. |
Venom / Bite: Huntsman spiders use venom to immobilise prey and to assist in digestion. They have been known to inflict defensive bites, but are not widely regarded as dangerous to healthy humans.
