THANK YOU!! im a real loss on spiders - the only ones i know are wolf spiders =) I think im going to enjoy spotting these amazing little beasts =)

Looks like a Huntsman, Sachindra. I find that, apart from the body shape, the eyes are the best indicator. Huntsman spiders have eight eyes, two rows of four across the front of their thorax. Great photo too! Neil
