Author's notes

This spider came out of the cocoon when I moved the branch, then retreated back into it (photo 2). I couldn't entice it out again for a clearer photo.

Has all the appearances of a juvenile huntsman, but I've never seen one with these markings.

Appears similar (although this one has a bit more of a pattern) to #4254669
