David Bowie Huntsman Spider
Heteropoda davidbowie
The David Bowie huntsman spider is a forest species recorded from Malaysia, Singapore and Sumatra. Its flattened body and sideways legs carry conspicuous orange hairs, though females vary from grayish to reddish brown. Specialist keepers provide secure, ventilated climbing space with bark and foliage retreats, access to moisture and suitable insect prey. This quick hunter is best observed without handling. Females lay eggs in silk sacs, as in other huntsman spiders.
