- We found this Giant Huntsman Spider in a forest near Wivenhoe Lake. It was
hiding under the lose bark of a gum tree. Its thorax was round and brown in
colour, with a 'X' mark on its carapace.
The spider had a flatten body. The abdomen was dark brown with black
pattern. Its legs were thick, dark brown in colour became black colour in
the tips. Its two pairs of forelegs were much longer than its two pairs of
hind legs. Its pair of the chelicerae were shiny black in colour. It ran very fast. After I
took this picture, it ran away up to the gum tree and disappeared in a
second.

related species.
