Info from Licensor: "I live on a farm with my husband and 8 children. We have many big spiders visiting our house that come out of the bush. This one is the biggest I have seen. He seemed quite happy just relaxing in my cup on our front verandah. When he eventually came out of the cup, he ran quickly towards me and made me squeal. This spider is a banded huntsman. They are not venomous but can give a nasty bite. The banded huntsman is native to this area and really quite beautiful with their contrasting black and white bands."
