This spider is spread throughout southern India and is often called a "coconut spider" or a "two-tailed spider". In addition to southern India, it can also be seen in Myanmar, Philippines , Singapore and Sri Lanka.

Coconut spider belongs to the genus Hersilia savignyi, which includes several other related species.
Coconut spiders usually make their homes on the trunks of large trees, especially the trunk of coconut tree . This is the main reason why they are often called coconut spiders. Its color is very similar to the color of the trunk on which it lives.

Coconut spiders eat insects, such as moths and ant , as well as other smaller spiders. Although they prefer a diet rich in protein over carb , they can eat carbohydrate-containing foods if they are in a stressful state and are forced to make a choice. In addition, spiders are allergic to seafood. Usually, coconut spiders place cocoons in holes or cracks in coconut trees.
It is easy to recognize coconut spiders due to its long spinneret. Spiders can range from 6 cm to 7 cm in length and they live in groups.
While it is difficult to distinguish between males and females of coconut spiders, this can be done by monitoring the degree of hostility displayed by each species and, in some cases, observing the appearance of unique white spots in the female abdomen.

All 40,000 different kinds of spiders have one thing in common, that is, their ability to weave silk. Furthermore, spiders' spinning ability increases over time as they evolve as they evolve as they are overall. A spider is able to produce up to seven different types of spiders, each dedicated to specific tasks such as weaving webs or catching prey.
Most spiders have eight eyes, although some species, such as the brown recluse spider, have only six eyes. The first set of eyes of a spider can usually produce visual effects, while the second set of eyes can simply sense light and shadows. It is presumed that the supplemental eyes are descended from complex eyes that are shared by spiders and insects.
The longest leg spread hunter spider on record is 4.6 cm (1.8 inches) long and 30 cm (12 inches). You can see some of the largest hunter spiders in the 22 Weirdest and Terrifying Australian Animals list.
