What's this hairy spider?
I saw this big spider running across the jogging path at the park last week. It was very fast and agile, I used a leaf to bring it back on the track to take a clear picture but it just ran over the leaf before i can lift it. On try, that thing ran up the leaf and crawled onto my hand like in split second! The horror... Incidentally, I got sick for a week after that.

Peacy,
That one looks like a Chilean Rose Tarantula ! Grammostola Rossa. These are suppose to be kept as pets de leh ... active temperature 24-28 degs. Maybe it escaped from someone's home.

Re: What's this hairy spider?
Wow, a tarantula...I guess that would make my first encounter with one. I think this is a feral species ya? There's this old documentary I saw on National Geographic Channel (I believe many have seen it before) showing native tribal people hunting for tarantula by inserting a piece of straw into their burrow. The tarantula gets provoked out of the burrowed and got nabbed in the end. 
They cook the spider in the fire and brush off all the hairs before eating it, and it was considered a delicacy to them. 
And they used their fangs as toothpick afterwards.
It's kind of weird to see the tarantula out in the open in broad daylight.
/me checks again hand for hair growing.
