Hello
We've run into multiple ones of these large, hairy leged, orange spiders.
Our house is in the mountains in Rincon, Puerto Rico
Any ideas of what this is?
Large Orange Spider - Rincon, Puerto Rico
It's a male huntsman spider (family Sparassidae); possibly in the genus Heteropoda. These also are known as giant crab spiders; they are not dangerous to humans.
