Heteropda sp. huntsman

This genus is commonly known as 'giant huntsman'. Heteropoda species are difficult to distinguish from each other without using a microscope, plus geographical location. Markings vary even between members of the same species.

Nocturnal, vagrant hunters - when finding themselves in a human home, Heteropoda may be seen on walls and ceilings as well as in sheds, letter boxes and so on.
