Thanks everyone, wish I took a few more pics
that. thing. is. crazy lookin. almost not even real. nice spotting!
WOW, this girl is beautiful, especially in the 2nd photo.
Nice spider Scott, great pics.
Well it wasnt far into QLD to be fair, close to the border with the NT (just north of Birdsville). would be great if it was a range extension.
Hey Argy, this page says it's found in arid areas of Western NSW, NT, WA, SA, QLD. http://ednieuw.home.xs4all.nl/australian... (I don't know what the original source of that info is though...)
I like the touch of red above the fangs-great spotting Scott!
Looks like you have found the first in Qld http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Hoggicosa+... Was it hitch hiking towards WA?
Very nice!
Nice one! : )
Looks fairly similar I think you got it Shanna
Wow, what an amazing spider

Great stuff, Scott! I'm glad you stopped to check this one out. :-)
Wow, that is a creepy-looking spider. I have no idea what it is though - I've had a good look through arachne.org.au but I can't see anything that looks like it.
