These are not the largest species, there are tropical species that are larger. Interestingly these can be green as slings, I grew up thinking the tiny green ones were just a small green species. Lately we've been getting another large species in the house, much the same but slate grey with a few black marks. The  bright orange ones are badge huntsmans, they are a relatively small species, between 1and 2 inches but they are stunning.</p></blockquote><p></p>
