Just did a google on "Huntsman Spider". Found this on wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_huntsman_spider. So I think your ID is correct :thumbsup:

Looked like this spider is not only harmless but useful to us as it feed on pest like cockroaches and silverfish.

Oh, that's good. The spider looks quite familiar to me but wasn't very sure of its id

Is there any way to improve my photos? Personally, I do not like the dark shadow cast by the spider. Will adding a diffuser to my flash helps?
