THE NIGHT VISITOR. There we were watching TV in the living room when this Giant Green Huntsman (Typostola sp) shows up for a visit. At the time it seemed to be large enough to use the remote control. When full-size, thay can be greater than a hand span. They are fast and can easliy hunt upside (they are not web spinners). A guide book lists their habitat as, "Houses, forested areas, gardens, and open forests." We can attest to the first on this list, though we eventually managed to get it outside.
