spider id

[elapid@]

found this out on my parents property via bathurst this spider was very large almost the size of my hand very thick legs and body also very placid im thinking some type of huntsmen or wolf spider but just a guess for me as i know nothing about spiders, so some one who could identify this spider would be great....left it where i found it also spectacular the way this spider blends in the back ground with its surroundings very impressive......

looks like a huntsman, not sure what type though

huntsmen .. hard to tell from that angle maybe a badge

may help .......was also missing a leg if you have a good look you will see the size of it when you zoom in....

Looks to me like Holconia immanis. See here The Find-a-spider Guide - Huntsman

Holonica of some sort.
Much too big for a badge.

Huntsman..very nice..wolfies are jet black underneath

The two rows of four eyes and the forward bending leg shown in the first pic indicate it is a huntsman. I would agree that it is a Holoconia species but which one I don't know. Holoconia immanis (Grey Huntsman) has been suggested and H. insignis (Banded Huntsman) is another very likely contender.


Wildthings, your local wolfies might be that colour underneath but this is certainly not generally the case.

Elapid, I assume you fed it the beetle larva.
