Huntsman spiders typically have a brown colouring, sometimes with undertones of yellow, pink, or grey. Heteropoda sp. Is the most common species in the Darwin area, and is mottled brown with bright bands on the underside of the leg joints.

They often prefer vertical surfaces, using their flattened body to hide in crevices and under bark. They can be very large with their legs spread out, and move quite fast.

Despite their fearsome appearance, Huntsman spiders are largely harmless to humans, and they will not bite unless provoked. Huntsman spider bites typically only result in localised pain and swelling that can be treated with a cold compress. In saying that, one species, Neosparassus diana, ‘the Badge Huntsman’, is known to inflict a bite that can cause severe localised pain and swelling, alongside sweating, nausea, and vomiting.
