Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 You have a Huntsman Spider, something near to Heteropoda venatoria. There are several options I see listed in the genus for Sri Lanka that I am unfamiliar with. It might be H. venatoria or possibly one of the others in the same genus.
Note to admin.: something needs to be adjusted under the field “Spotted Indoors: AtticMan-made structure (building wall, fences, etc.)” … “AtticMan” sounds like a really awkward super hero. 😀
It was actually a pretty serious bug that existed for a few hours!
I was doing page speed optimization, and messed up the Javascript dependencies required on the picture submission form. This in fact, removed all of the conditional functionality and all of the conditional fields (i.e. Indoors, Outdoors, States, Canada regions, etc.), were open at once. This forced people to submit pictures as both indoors and outdoors with attributes selected. I went back and fixed the handful of pictures that snuck in under that bug.
