It was almost the size of a half dollar coin with large pincers or fangs(folded in on my photograph)
I’ve seen a very similar one on oahu as well, one being black prismatic color and the other smaller one the looks like your post. Same type of location as well. I’ve also read someone reporting it on big island. I dont believe this spider has been documented and I think it might be endemic. If its a jumping spider species it would be the biggest.
Long jawed jumping spider I believe it’s in opisthoncus
Genus
So pretty. Bigger than I’d have guessed!
