Here are a few pics of some bugs i saw in the Congo. One of them a spider, can anyone identify it? The others are of the anthills those ants build, you cannot walk 50m in the forest without seeing one of them. then there's the ant that build them, very nasty buggers, and a giant moth.

The pic is a bit too blurry to give an answer.
Looks like a MM though.

Yeah sorry for the picture quality. It was with a blackberry at night. It was about 4-5 inches. Beautiful though.

This Congolese spider have been bothering me ever since, so i have been asking around and "Googling" myself on a few occasions. Is it not possible that this could be a Hysterocrates Hercules?

I know the picture I posted is a bit crappy, but this image above is closest resemblance to what I can remember from that night.
