Spider on the steel wall at night in the early hours.
I thought a large bodies one of the many species of wolf spiders?
Please assist identification to family, genus and/or species, if possible ?
Old mobile phone in the dark with the flash hence low quality photographs only sorry here for the lack of quality (lens and flash poor quality and old low resolution) .
Cape 'tribute' lowlands about 1 km inland of the coast, private dwelling wall in the hunting for food prey in the early hours of the morning when i was up late.
Private dwelling. therefore location suppressed (naturally) .
