What does the giant huntsman spider eat?

The giant huntsman spider eats insects, small rodents, and reptiles. As its common name suggests, the giant huntsman spider actively hunts its prey rather than wait for it to enter a web. The spider can pursue its prey with incredible speed and agility, subduing the hapless animal with venom before it feasts.
