Baboon Spider Revealed
Category: Insects | Date: Mar 24 2008 | By: tumaren
You normally only see Baboon Spiders out of their underground funnels when there is rain (or I suppose possibly when breeding). This particular specimen was coaxed from his home with a blade of grass a trick perfected by most young boys in these parts. Baboon Spiders are quite harmless but they will give you a good bite if hassled. This guy we returned to his house after taking his picture.

Dipesh, I’d say he is big enough to stay out of his way!

like the centipede, I would say he was about 7 inches. centipede vs. baboon spider would be a battle of the titans.
