This huntsman was found under a plastic rug outside in our garden. It fell on the ground. When I touched it with a stick it made this very colourful position pushing its abdomen underneath its head to expose its colourful underside. The blue also appeared on its legs. I question whether it is a Neosparassus diana??

It is a defensive display - this is a female, the male also has yellow bands on its legs
