Number of photos:   3
Notes:   I saw the spider near it's hole and not knowing spiders took pictures and went to google to see what I had. Found this site and still could not make out the type from the photo's. please let me know if the spider in my yard is in fact a Baboon spider or not. I live in a newly developed housing compex where extensive earth works were done to accomodate the houses, I am amazed that the spiders survived.
