Huntsman spider

Sparassidae sp.

Description:

A big spider that we found on the cloth of our tent. Sparassidae are eight-eyed spiders. On their upper surfaces the main colours of huntsman spiders are inconspicuous shades of brown or grey, but many species have undersides more or less aposematically marked in black-and-white, with reddish patches over the mouthparts. Their legs bear fairly prominent spines, but the rest of their bodies are smoothly furry.

Habitat:

Mountains
