He must have snuck into my briefcase overnight. Scared me half to death and then took me an hour to identify it.

We found between 8-12 of these in our garden shack when we opened the door one evening. They're huge!

They are shy and tend to hide as soon as they see movement and light.

I am pretty sure she is a female, I saw one a few years ago that was a little smaller. The picture quality is not very good because I only had the camera on my phone. Leg span is approx. 3.5in
