Keywords: unidentified big hairy light brown spider large huge unknown fast home queensland

Yeah I found this last night in Kawana, on Queensland\'s Sunshine Coast.
It looks like it should be a wolf spider, but it\'s markings look more like the variations on hunstmans.
Habronestes boq was what I thought it was - the \"Bank Of Queensland\" (BOQ) spider that comes up in the GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH. (do this)
There\'s a drawing that comes up which looks really close, with similar abdomen markings, but the photos were completely different to my spider. With shiny legs, instead of hairy ones like my spider.
It\'s very fast, but calmed down once I took it outside into the night air.
It looks like it should be a wolf spider of some sort, as I said, but it\'s abdomen is so FAT (possibly hinting that its preggers, I guess) and the markings are quite different with the thorax and legs being the only real slight similarity.
Any help would be appreciated with my search for what it is!
I love this massive spider, it\'s gorgeous but quite. .different..

and yeah I just found a picture of the giant green hunstman that looks similar to this spider, so I guess it could be that. But it's legs don't bend forward and it's not flat! Confusing, but yeah could just be pregnant I guess..
