Huntsman? What kind?

[TarantulaLV]

Found at a Las Vegas construction site in the middle of the desert. I am 100% sure it came off of the plants and trees delivered for landscaping of the property. Just curious.

"I am 100% sure it came off of the plants and trees delivered for landscaping of the property."

Would these plants and trees have come from overseas? I'm assuming that huntsmans are not native to north america - am I right?

 

[froggyman]

no your not right
Olios bibranchiatus
Olios fasciculatus
Olios franklinus
and more all are native to the usa

Hmmm...well I have read at least two posts on this board by North American members wishing that they had huntsmans in the US....odd.
