Shield Huntsman Spider

Thanks Ignacio Gamboa ...I think so too.. I watched it for a couple of nights and it did not build a net!

To me is Neosparassus salacius., here is a photo for you to compare. http://ednieuw.home.xs4all.nl/australian...

So is it a Neosaraassus or a Eriophora??

Wow what a great series, i think this can be Neosparassus genus, probably Neosparassus salacius, not an Eriophora as i thought earlier

Wow a really great spotting indeed!!!

Christiane, I think this spider http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/909... is an orb spider as per the suggestion. It is holding two rear pairs of legs backwards along its abdomen as all orb spiders and most others do. Huntsman spiders uniquely have all retrograde legs, bending them forwards with ALL joints backwards, like your elbows, if you were toughing your head. Some huntsmans were called 'isopoda' ('iso - poda = the same - legs ).
