Heteropoda venatoria
(Huntsman Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Houston, Texas. He/She was behind a box that I picked up. The box has been sitting there a long time near the kitchen. His body (not including legs) was a little larger than a quarter. So this one definitely surprised me! I’ve seen one before in my bathroom, same size.
