He also pointed out some of the more bizarre encounters of the adventure, such as two giant crab spiders living in a cabin, and the "Golem Storage Room".

However, some members of the Sparassidae are called giant crab spiders, Selenopidae are called wall crab spiders, and various members of the Sicariidae are sometimes called six-eyed crab spiders.

Sinopoda forcipata is a species of spider in the family Sparassidae.

It is classified under the family Sparassidae, though its subfamilial classification remains unclear.

Prey recorded includes spiders from the family Sparassidae.

Huntsman spider is a name given to the family Sparassidae (formerly Heteropodidae).

Huntsman spiders of the family Sparassidae have also been termed "tarantulas" because of their large size.

Members of the Sparassidae are common in Australia, but also in many warm-temperate-to-tropical parts of the world.

Dry bites from spiders such as tarantulas and large Sparassidae also are common and simply can be ignored or, if appropriate, treated using mild antiseptics.

Like practically all spiders apart from the Uloboridae and some Liphistiidae and Holarchaeidae, Sparassidae use venom to immobilise prey and to assist in digestion.

(Since the discovery of H. maxima, Sparassidae species larger than B. aurea has been discovered, one of them is considered to be the largest in the Middle East).

It is not always clear what provokes Sparassidae to bite people, but it is known that female members of this family will aggressively defend their egg sacs and young against perceived threats.

More than a thousand Sparassidae species occur in most warm temperate to tropical regions of the world, including much of Australasia, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas.

For example, it is a cliche that bites by Sparassidae are largely harmless (see Wikipedia article and associated links) but some reports clearly suggest that some of their bites cause marked neurotoxic effects.

He has described more than 40 species and genera in the Sparassidae (huntsman spider) family, and is regularly called on by New Zealand authorities to identify huntsman spiders that have entered their country.

An investigation into spider bites in Australia, in which Sparassidae figured prominently, did not note any severe or unusual symptoms resulting from confirmed bites from some of the most notorious genera, particularly Neosparassus.

The largest known member of the Sparassidae known prior to the discovery of H. maxima was the Australian Beregama aurea (L. Koch, 1875) with a body length of about 4 centimeters.
