Huntsman Spider

Heteropoda venatoria (Linnaeus)

Description:

The Spider has an approximately 3-4 inches in size.

Notes:

I saw the spotting on the wall of my aunt's house. Normally, spiders have 8 legs but this one only have 6 legs (maybe the spider lose it or have an abnormalities). As you can see, there was another insect in the picture. It's the prey of the spider, a cockroach, which when I photographed it the cockroach's fluid already dripping down the wall that means it's already dead.
