Talk:Cane spider

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Wrong pic

This definitely is NOT a Hawaiian cane spider. I live on Maui, and have seen hundreds of cane spiders, none of which looked anything like this one. If i can get a picture i will upload it, but until then I welcome anyone to add a picture if they have one. The spiders i have seen look more like other species of huntsman spider found in Australia than a tarantula. Mauipsyko

The second paragraph mentions the banana spider or orb weaver which are not the same as the huntsman.

In that case, which kind of spider is it ? Danleo 22:29, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong weight

Cane spiders definitely do NOT weigh 3-5 ounces. Grams maybe. I also have seen hundreds of them on Kaua`i, and I've seen them carrying large cockroaches under their bellies, but that weight is far off. It could indeed be the weight of the largest Huntsman spiders, but the Hawaiian cane spider is not of those. Wlegro (talk) 15:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
