Creature 292: Holconia

An excuse to post some of my own photos. 


Holconia is a genus of huntsman spider.

Images in this post are my own. You can use them for whatever you want.

Actually I'm not 100÷ sure I got this ID right, but I'm pretty confident this I Holconia, probably Holconia immanis as I found it in Sydney.


There isn't anything that special about these guys, they are big and scary looking but I really just wanted to post some of my photos on the blog.
