Queen of the Huntsmen (Pediana regina), also known as the Bark Huntsman Spider, is a large huntsman, whose camouflage allows it to blend in with the bark of trees, where they are often found (sometimes hiding up the loose bark). Like many huntsmen, they have a flattened body shape, with distinctive paterns on the back of the thorax and abdomen.
