This handsome guy must measure at least 15cm (6"). He was crossing a rural road when I spotted him(her?) and was not one bit shy with the camera.

It was a real privilege to find this spider in the wild since, unfortunately, the are exported as 'pets'

This is a really magnificent spider.

These spiders are neither poisoneous nor aggressive.

It seems the 'menu' of these spiders consists of baby birdies (hence their popular name) and insects.
