Huntsman spider

Huntsman spiders are a common group of spiders found in Australia, New Zealand, and many other tropical and semi-tropical areas of the world. Huntsmen do not build webs but forage for food - mostly insects and other invertebrates. They do bite if provoked, but the victim will suffer only minor swelling and localised pain, recovering in a day or so.
