•  Info Heteropoda venatoria, Giant crab spider, is a species of spider in the family Sparassidae, the huntsman spiders. All by Jkadavoor -- Jee 07:20, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Support -- Although this big but rather harmless spider is very common and there is at lest one in my room always, it is difficult to find it in natural environment. This time I got it on my garden. Jee 07:20, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Support I don't like spiders, but great anyway. ;) Yann (talk) 08:11, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Support - Pretty spider, very well photographed. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:24, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
•  Support How big? Charles (talk) 09:03, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

• The adult has a flat, brown body 2 to 2.5 cm (0.8 to 1 inch) long, 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) wide, including the legs. I saw once it paralyzed a Common house gecko with a single bite. Will bite us too if taken in hand. Supposed to be painful; but harmless. Jee 09:20, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
