This is a spider and a very beautiful animal of the natural environment. It is a very familiar animal to me and the name of this animal is saved in my favorite list. The name of this beautiful spider is Giant huntsman spider. When I first saw this spider, I liked it very much and I enjoyed its beauty. Because I liked it, I tried to take some pictures with my own mobile and those pictures are presented above for all friends to observe.
Last two days ago I was sleeping in my room at night and after waking up suddenly in the middle of the night, I suddenly saw this spider crawling or moving on the floor of my room when I first went to the bathroom. When I saw the spider in the room, the electric light was on. I observed it closely and saw that it was a large spider which I found very beautiful to look at. I saw that it does not look very beautiful when taken with electric light and I was able to take a few pictures by turning on the flash light of my mobile. This type of spider is very clever and strong. I observed that it has eight perpendicular legs in its body and it uses all its legs while moving. As far as I know, it kills other insects by hitting them with its legs first and then takes that insect as food. Anyway, I have now shared some pictures that I took on my mobile with the Hive community friends. I hope all the friends will like each picture.
