LaoNo, it's the third largest.
The first largest spider is the Giant Huntsman Spider.
The second largest spider is the Goliath Birdeater Spider.
The third largest spider is the Camel Spider.
Large spiders, such as camel spiders, are commonly mistaken to have ten legs instead of eight. The two limbs in front that many people mistake for legs are actually ultra-sensitive feelers which feel for prey by sensing vibrations on the ground.
It should also be pointed out that camel spiders are not actually officially considered spiders. They are actually called Solifugae. Which do belong in the Arachnid group, but are not directly spiders. They are closely related to scorpions. Camel spiders were given their name before scientists realised they aren't actually officially spiders. One of the many great mistakes of zoology.
