I live in AZ. I found this guy on my porch. We have a lot of trantulas in the area, but I've never seen a baby look like this one. It is really light and has no hair.. but it looks too large to be another type of spider. It also has the big black fangs. But it striked at me when I touched it.. That's kinda uncommon for a trantula. But I'm sure it was stressed.
Is this a baby trantula?
This is a huntsman/giant crab spider (family Sparassidae); likely Olios giganteus - http://www.spiders.us/species/olios-giganteus/
Weird I've never seen one! It was just so big assumed it may be a trantula. Thank god I didn't try to pick it up lol. No wonder it tried to bite me. I've never had a trantula do that. Thanks!
