A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
We were driving a car when this big one (I think 15 to 20 cm.) crossed the road. The local people I was coming with were surprised too and stopped the car to take a closer look and take pictures of it, and so did I!

yes peter, likely a similar species. I have little knowledge about spiders as well, maybe an expert can help sort it out?
Hi Venusflytrap, thank you for the research. It really looks indeed like that one, but like you say it can't be because of the range. Maybe a similar species? I actually have not much knowledge about spiders..
It looks just like a mexican red rump tarantula http://www.lowryparkzoo.com/bio_zb_mexic... but it says they are only found in central america and florida
