It is rather large, about 1.5 inches in length.
I can just imagine what size they were a couple of million years ago and glad I did not come across them then. :)

Star Wars?
This looks like something out of Star Wars. I have no idea what kind of beetle it is as I cannot find it in my reference guides.

Tiny Green Spider
Sparassidae - Olios - Arboreal Huntsman
There is a very big avocado tree outside my door and over the weekend they were trimming some of the branches off.
I think he must have crawled off one of the cut-off branches as I found him on the paving.
He is very fast and scuttled away whenever I got the camera near, so I let him crawl onto my finger and put him in my tank to take pics.
He is tiny with a body length of less than half an inch but extremely hairy as you can see.
