Hi, I know the quality of the pictures is not sufficient to be publish, and it doesn't matter, I just want to have the confirmation this is a baboon spider, and if possible which species? By the way should I do something special? Let it here, ask someone to take it away from my garden, ...? I'm not from South-Africa and not really used to cross this kind of animals in Northern Europe... Antoine
Hi. This is a huntsman spider in family Sparassidae. Also called rain spiders. Definately not baboon spider. She is guarding her egg sag. Although she is feared for her size by the locals, she is quite harmless. But she will defend her egg sac when bothered, so it is best to leave her be.
