A new friend

Someone at school passed this guy along to me. He aquired it from somone who found it on bananas from Equador. Heteropoda venatoria.

I've been prompted to friend you by the lovely ambienteye. Her prompting comes on account of you being a grad student in the entomology department and my desire to be a grad student in the entomology department, in a couple of years. So, "Hi! Wanna be my internet friend?!?"

Are those spiky hairs on the legs of this spider as sharp as they appear?

not sure if it's the same species, but it's similar at least. I would be so excited to find that guy in my house. Mine died unfortunately :(
