This is one of my Heterophrynus batesii nymphs, which I just received a few days ago. Native to the Amazon, the forelegs (longer than the others, structured and functioning much like antennae) can reach about a two-foot span, so in terms of legspan these are the world's largest arachnids.
Right now these babies look like daddy-longlegs from some alien world, the body length is about 3/8-inch but the "antennae" already span nearly three inches. I wish they stayed this cute as they get big!
