Comments & ID Thoughts

I found them running along the top of a wall indoors.
They seem to be carrying an egg sac, and also had a couple babies fall off in the net—although I didn't see them hanging on.

I wasn't able to get a precise measurement, but for scale the outer diameter of the net is 13.5cm. I'd guess they're about 4-5cm across.

Looks like some type of female huntsman to me?

How sweet, this is a female huntsman spider. Very harmless, even good to have around.
Poor gal lost a leg.
