Sparassidae
I found this spider in my home office carrying it's egg sac with it.
We live in an area with lots of trees and scrub land and spiders like to wander indoors where it's warmer.
I do not think it is a huntsman spider as its eye patterns is that of a Wolf Spider.
Moreover, Wolf Spider (Lycosidae) use their spinnerets at their abdomen to carry their egg sac, as seen like above.
However, I do not usually see wolf spider putting their eggs underneath their body.
I just carried one of them outside, but I bet she will be back in again by morning :-)
