Whilst many Huntsman Spiders can be found residing under the loose bark of trees, under rocks, in crevices, rock walls and on foliage, others are successfully living in urban regions. The Isopedella inola pictured here was photographed on the ceiling roof joist over a car space in Alice Springs, Northern Territory.
