Just as I thought before reading the wiki. I don't think it's a hunts man from your pic as your spider is on a web and huntsman spiders are not web spinners hence the name huntsman. I don't know what it is however if I was a betting man I'd say its some sort of water spider. Usually found around ponds and water features or where it's always wet. I could be wrong....

Can you give location.

And some pictures with a bit more detail in. the eyes, the abdomen and the carapace and leg pattern.

Then I'm going to be vague in my guess and say part of the orb web or orb weaver family. :lol:

eastrand. and it's got yellow lines on the abdomen
