Genus of spiders
Olios huntsman spiders , containing 166 species.[ 1] [ 1] Charles Athanase Walckenaer in 1837.[ 1]
Description
They are small to large Sparassidae , that have eight eyes in two partially straight rows. For the smaller species of this genus, they are usually light brown to brown with darker areas. Most larger species are darker, and some members of this genus may also be green. They are nocturnal hunters.[ 2]
Habitat
As this genus is widespread, they are found in a large variety of habitats, from savannahs to rainforest . They are mainly found in vegetation, and rarely houses. They are sometimes shipped alongside fruit, but this is not a common occurrence.[ 2]
