huntsmen finding

[spislandboy]

hi I am looking to try to find a huntsman spider. I live in the Atlanta area of Georgia, do any even live here and if so do any of you have tips on finding one?

Research then Search.
Happy Hunting...

the only observations on iNaturalist and bugguide are from the southern end of the state

Unlikely to be any in Atlanta. But they are common in Florida, your best bet would be to look down south. Also, they are sold in the pet trade you could just buy one if you really wanted.
