A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
A largish (8-8.5 cm) green, somewhat fuzzy spider, apparently one of the Huntsman spiders in the family Sparassidae.
Found on the outside of a block building (700 masl) in the Amazon rainforest of SE Ecuador.
Pretty green colored, very quick spider.

No worries Tukup and thanks to you too for sharing with us all your amazing nature encounters and your scientific knowledge, people like you are allways very welcome in PN.Iam sure you are going to make great friends here:-)
Hi Antonio. I've been going over all spottings with comments to see if I've missed anyone as I'm not always being notified of comments. I see I never responded to your very kind welcome to Project Noah. I had no idea what it was way back then. I'm not sure what brought me back to check on it, but am I glad I did. PN is great. Meeting great people, sharing experiences and learning a lot. Thank you for all you and the other rangers do.
Hello Tukup and Welcome to the Project Noah community!
We hope you like the website as much as we do. There are many aspects to the site and community. The best way to get started is to read the FAQs at http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you can find all the tips, advice and "rules" of Project Noah. You, like the rest of the community, will be able to suggest IDs for species that you know (but that have not been identified), and make useful or encouraging comments on other users' spottings (and they on yours).
There are also "missions" you can join and add spottings to. See http://www.projectnoah.org/missions . A mission you should join is the http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/2165... to chose the best wild photo of 2018,only the spottings added to that mission are eligible.Note that most missions are "local". Be sure not to add a spotting to a mission that was outside of mission boundaries or theme :) Each mission has a map you may consult showing its range. We also maintain a blog archive http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we have posted previous articles from specialists from different geographical areas and categories of spottings, as well as wildlife "adventures".
So enjoy yourself, share, communicate, learn. See you around :)
