Huntsman Spider ( $120 )

30. There are many species of huntsman spiders in Australia. They belong to the Family Sparassidae. Some species can reach over 160mm in leg span. The female can lay up to two hundred eggs which she guards for around three weeks. We found this spider perched on a fence post at Kioloa on the South Coast as we headed for a field site. Huntsmans feed on insects and other small invertebrates.
