Comments & ID Thoughts

I think its a type of baboon spider. Not sure though. Very aggressive, attacked broom and had its two front legs up. When found it was upside down. Thought the poor thing was dead. This was in the morning. The night before it was the right way up, decided to leave it in the corner as it was doing nothing to me until I found it the next morning exactly where it was previously. It jumped on the broom and I gently left it on a pole somewhere far. Would be cool to know which spider it is exactly. I know you get large rain spiders in the area, but this was definitely not one of them.
