Wow!  Gorgeous spider!  She looks like she's "all legs"!

This thing is huge.  Witch family is it ??

If i was to guess i would say Pisauridae. Heteropoda sp. does sound familiar but i can't remember witch family it's from.

I'm guessing Pisauridae cuz that spider is very similar to the Pisaurina genus but like 2-3 times bigger . Smile

Thx for posting those awesome pics.

How interesting that she remained suspended from the abdomen area as to not drop to the substrate.... is that done deliberately?

Way cool man.

If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
