Heteropoda venatoria
(Huntsman Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Is this a huntsman spider? It was found on our porch. Porch is not fully enclosed but has a roof. We had a tarp covering some carpet, it was on the tarp. It was getting dark so I didn’t get a good or close look. Brownish in color. Did not seem to be bothered by our presence.
