Abstract
The giant huntsman spider is a hunting spider which runs faster due to the long jointed appendages. The morphometric characters of huntsman were measured subsequently. The total length of the spider was 3 inches. The bisexual dimorphism of the spider was studied, and it was observed that the female spider had an enlarged abdomen with prominent four spots on its dorsal side and muscular body and legs. In contrast, the captured male species had streamlined bodies and long jointed appendages. This spider’s study will help know the biodiversity in the Kandi, sangareddy, Hyderabad, India. These huntsman species were found in localite areas where people or humans recides. Most of the time, they were found in the home of humans. So, there was no need to worry or fear about them as these spiders are not harmful to humans and are also helpful in controlling insect pests such as mosquitoes entangled in their web.
