Awesome pics. That cherry red is gorgeous. And to me the huntsman looks more like a fishing spider. Really resembles the Dolomedes tenebrosus we have here in the states.

I was impressed with the mole cricket, too.
Then I came to the Tropidolaemus wagleri and thought to myself, hmmm, that looks suspiciously venomous... LOL
Great pics!
