Heteropoda

Heteropoda spiders, commonly found in Thailand, belong to a genus known for their impressive size, vibrant coloration, and formidable legs. These spiders exhibit a diverse range of habitats, from lush forests to open fields, and are among the country's largest arachnids, with some reaching up to 6 inches in length. Their striking colors span the spectrum from yellow to green to red. Heteropoda spiders are skilled hunters, capable of subduing prey much larger than themselves. Despite their size, they are harmless to humans as they lack venomous properties. Observing these spiders in your home or garden can offer a captivating glimpse into Thailand's rich wildlife diversity.
