Worlds Largest Huntsman Spider

December 15, 2008

According to TheStar more than 1,000 species of spiders, mammals, snakes and millipedes have been discovered in the Greater Mekong region of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. Among the most spectacular was the world’s largest huntsman spider. This spider got the name “Heteropoda Maxima” and has a leg span of up to 12 inch (30cm). This is the largest huntsman spider in the world and we have to preserve this for the future.

The reason why it took so long to discover these new species is because the region have been very unstable and now when it have settled the researchers have started to get results.
