| Heteropoda venatoria | January 05 2025 | Central Aceh Regency,Aceh, Indonesia |
This moment happened at night. My extended family and I were having dinner together. Afterward, I immediately rushed to the bathroom to clean up. When I arrived, I was immediately surprised by the presence of a huntsman spider on my bathroom wall. I don't know where the spider came from, most likely through the window vent.

This spider has similarities to jumping spiders, especially in terms of hunting. This spider doesn't build a web to wait for its prey, but instead hunts and pounces on its prey quickly and brutally. I don't know if this spider is dangerous to humans or not, and I didn't dare touch it. This spider's distinctive feature is its fine hairs on its body and its brown or gray color. What's even more surprising is that this spider can grow to a very large size.
I also often find this spider in the house and very rarely find it outdoors. When this spider grows very large, it will look very scary, especially the fine hairs on its body make this spider have a very scary characteristic.
