Note, that the ID is wrong (A. keyserlingi)
Cool :D!
I like these guys, even though they creeped me out a few times in Korea.
Taking detours off the forest paths, or even when you walk ON the paths, those guys are everywhere :)
I can not forget Signature spider...who caused me to be here on Project Noah... :)
You are right, Ashish!
How did you find that fellow :D
I looked up and down the web :)
Thanks!
