heteropoda
''Heteropoda'' is a genus of spiders in the family Sparassidae, the huntsman spiders. They are mainly distributed in tropical Asia and Australia, while at least one species, ''H. venatoria'', has a cosmopolitan distribution,〔Airamé, S. and P. Sierwald. (2000). (Hunting and feeding behavior of one ''Heteropoda'' species in lowland rainforest on Borneo (Aranae, Sparassidae). ) ''Journal of Arachnology'' 28(2), 251-53.〕 and ''H. variegata'' occurs in the Mediterranean.〔Jager, P. and H. Ono. (2000). (Sparassidae of Japan. I. New species of ''Olios'', ''Heteropoda'', and ''Sinopoda'', with notes on some known species (Araneae: Sparassidae: Sparassinae and Heteropodinae). ) ''Acta Arachnologica'' 49(1), 41-60.〕
These spiders catch and eat insects, but in a laboratory study one species readily ate fish and tadpoles when offered,〔 and ''H. venatoria'' has been known to eat scorpions and bats.〔Ross, J., et al. (1982). (The life cycle of ''Heteropoda venatoria'' (Linnaeus) (Araneae: Heteropodidae). ) ''Psyche'' 89, 297-306.〕
The largest species in the genus, ''H. maxima'', is about 4.6 centimeters long but has a legspan of up to 30 centimeters, therefore being the largest of any extant spider.〔Iaeger, P. (2001). (A new species of ''Heteropoda'' (Araneae, Sparassidae, Heteropodinae) from Laos, the largest huntsman spider? ) ''Zoosystema'' 23(3), 461-66.〕
==Species==
As of 2006, there were about 180 to 190 species in the genus, but the group requires taxonomic study and revision.〔Jäger, P. (2005). (A 'swimming' ''Heteropoda'' species from Borneo (Araneae, Sparassidae, Heteropodinae). ) ''Journal of Arachnology'' 33(3), 715-18.〕〔Eusemann, P. and P. Jäger. (2006). (''Heteropoda schwendingeri'' Jäger 2005 (Araneae: Sparassidae) – first description of female with notes on intraspecific variation and evidences supporting species status. ) ''Zootaxa'' 1325, 327-34.〕
