Notes
Believed to live high in the rainforest canopy in Far North Queensland, this species is seldom seen in the wild.
Gargantuans attain an impressive size but are also gracile and fragile. They therefore require lots of hanging space to successfully moult, at least 100cm High * 45cm wide * 45 deep.
