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). They are known as rain spiders in southern Africa.

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.

Huntsman Spiders are large to very large size spiders. Most of them have flattened body suitable to live inside the narrow gaps under bark, log and stone. They are usually brown or grey in colours. The spiders have crab-like legs - all legs bend forwards. They can walk backwards, forwards and sideway. Their front two pairs of legs are usually much longer than back.

They run fast, hunt by chasing after prey. Sometimes they come inside house looking for prey. If someone found spiders are scary, most likely Huntsman Spiders are the major causes. Females make oval flat egg-sac under bark or between leaves. They will guard the eggs and juveniles.
Huntsman Spiders active during the night, They hide in their retreat, under bark or some other shelter, during the day. Instead of chasing prey, most huntsman spiders wait at the spots where insects will come by. It is believe that the coming and going of insects put down scent trails that the huntsmen can pick up.

Heteropoda 白额高脚蛛（学名：Heteropoda venatoria，拉丁名：Linnaeus，英文名：Brown huntsman spider），属节肢动物门，蛛形科，蜘蛛目，高脚蛛科（巨蟹蛛科），高脚蛛属，在热带亚热带湿润地区广泛分布，是室内活动的蜘蛛中体型最大的种类，雄蛛体长1.5～2cm，雌蛛体长2.3～3cm，八脚细长，全长（包括脚）约10cm～13cm，张开脚时和CD差不多大小。全身密生黄灰色毛，其额区有一条白色横带，此为白额高脚蛛名称的由来。雄蛛背甲有一个很大的黑色Ｖ字形斑纹，雌蛛则没有这个斑纹。白额高脚蛛是夜行性动物，喜欢出没于稍微阴暗的地方。无毒，不结网，肉食性，在室内主要以捕食蟑螂、苍蝇、蛾等昆虫维生，食量大，是室内蟑螂最主要的天敌。白额高脚蛛卵为圆盘状，雌蜘有抱卵游走的护卵行为，在交配产卵后，为了保护卵，会用丝将卵固定于腹部。白额高脚蛛是无毒的蜘蛛，即使被咬也不会造成严重伤害、不结网，主要以捕食蟑螂、苍蝇、蛾等昆虫维生，可算是益虫。

Thelcticopis

A genus of huntsman spiders that occurs almost exclusively in the Australasian region, from India to Japan to New Guinea and Fiji. However, one species (T. pestai) occurs in Costa Rica, and another (T. humilithorax) in Congo basin.

This genus is distinguished by the abdomen narrowing behind and ending in terminal spinnerets which are borne on a tubular stalk separated at the base by a membranous ring. They are often brownish-red, the abdomen is either of uniform color or shows paired spots. However, some species are black, yellow or green
