Field Notes

Description:

I think this could be a female green huntsman spider (Micrommata virescens) but I'm really not sure, they aren't usually found this far south. I found several different individuals emerging from the middle of pandanus plants at night and often saw them feeding on prey at dawn. The spider pictured was large, about 3 inches in diameter, fuzzy and more green than it appears.

Habitat:

Pandanus or Screw Pines.

Notes:

Apologies for the poor focus, hopefully someone can still determine the ID.
