    Thank you for the correction earthtiger, I'm honestly not all that well-versed in my arachnid fauna. They were easy to spot at night in the forest with a headlamp due to their eye shine. Felt like the entire forest was watching you due to the density of wolf spiders and other species.

    Fantastic images, I visited the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve 4 years ago and you have brought back some fond memories with your photos! Brilliant!

    This is also not a huntsman spider, but it is a wandering spider in the Ctenid family... Phoneutria fera. This species is highly toxic. Cool find!
