Enormous bird eating spider seen on the walk in to Salto Angel (Angel Falls) following boat journey up the Rio Carao from Canaima Falls. The spider can grow up to 32 centimetres and is aa contender for largest spider in the world.
A velvet beauty - what a beast! Yes, the Huntsman is up there with similar leg span but I think these take out the 'meatiest' prize, awesome. I would love to see a tarantula in situ. There are species here in Australia within four genera, hopefully one day.

We were very fortunate - it was in a shaft of sunlight close by the track and so it stood out, otherwise it'd just hve looked like another large seed on the forest floor.
