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.

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.
