Comments & ID Thoughts
I believe this tarantula maybe an Ummidia. It climbed up the wall of our house after extensive rain and this is not first time I have seen numerous specimen after heavy rain.

Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 This does look like it could be Ummidia, did you happen to get a shot that shows the legs at a different angle though? A distinguishing characteristic is a depression on tibia III, because of the angle of the image it’s difficult to make out though I think I can see the bulges of it on the left leg.
