Comments & ID Thoughts

I took this photo outside a restaurant when I spotted this on the outside wall. From what I saw on this site I think it might be a giant crab spider because of the two brown spots on the back.

Yes good call. This is a female Heteropoda venatoria…they have a white “moustache” and often have a white line at the back of the “head ” too…Nice photo
