Huntsman
A nice fat hairy visitor came to visit me.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Huntsman spiders (Sparassidae, formerly Heteropodidae) is a family of spiders also known as the giant crab spiders, due to their appearance. Larger specimens of these spiders are also sometimes referred to as wood spiders, due to their preference for inhabiting woody places (forest, mine shafts, woodpiles, wooden shacks). They are known as rain spiders in southern Africa.[1]
These eight-eyed spiders are found in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, Florida, and Hawaii, and possibly in many other tropical and semi-tropical regions.
Members of the huntsman family of spiders are very common in Australia, but also in many tropical and semi-tropical parts of the world.
