Delena cancerides

Huntsman Spider: A native of Australia, also naturalised in the Auckland region of New Zealand, where it is known as the Avondale Spider.

In the 1990 film, Arachnophobia, this spider was selected as the deadly antagonist that hitched a ride in its victim's coffin to California. Ironically, it was, in part, selected due to its harmlessness to humans- despite its fierce, deadly appearance.
