Have a name ? Scientific name ?
Location: Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.
This is a spider found indoor.
My vote goes for huntsman spider, and a male one at that, but I can’t say which species. Will have a quick lookup and see if I can narrow it down for you
It’s hard to say given I don’t have a clear list of Vietnam spiders but this is a Sparassidae, ( a huntsman), and as for family some possibilities are Sinopoda, Rhithymna, Pseudopoda, and Heteropoda.

Circle to search also says huntsman spider. A more detailed close-up would be helpful
If I saw it here in Florida I’d say a leggy Huntsman. It’s gorgeous!
A big one :(
Light switch Spider. Can turn your lights out in an instant. Fucking deadly!
It looks like a male specimen of Tegenaria domestica. Its habitat spreads over Europe, Asia and Northern America. They are harmless to humans.
Sorry, but it’s not. Look at the leg length and proportions, also the last segment of each leg- our mystery spider is a type of huntsman spider
That’s Jerry.
Also, a “what bug is this” post should include your location.
Preferably GPS coordinates that can be fed directly to the orbital laser.
Nope. All spiders are called Boris. Even the girl spiders.
I’m no expert, but looking up Vietnamese spiders, it could be a huntsman?
Disclaimer: I know nothing more than the average person on spiders, it may be harmful, it may not be a huntsman. I would advise caution until someone who knows more that I can identify it.
Yes it looks like a huntsman to me too. We see very similar ones here in Australia
I am not an expert, so do not take what I say for “should I let this thing bite me”, but in Washington and the UK we have “giant house spiders” that look just like this (to my non trained eye). They are terrifying to find, but harmless generally. Leave very waxy webs.
If that’s the case, just start putting out some sticky traps in your home, wherever you find one just throw a trap down. Warmer years brings more of them
Ever seen Arachnophobia? Stop what ever you are doing and watch that first.
Yes, that appears to be a spider.
You’re going to get next to no help at all without a location, and even with a location there’s not really enough detail in the photo for a good identification.
People will need to know what country you live in, what region of said country if it’s a larger one like the United States or Australia, but even with that information you’re only going to get guesses because you really can’t see identifying features on the spider in this photo.
