Can two different species of huntsman breed with each other?
Two kinds of creatures are said to be in different species if they cannot successfully interbreed **and** produce offspring that can successfully breed. Many kinds of animals can successfully interbreed. For instance, donkeys and horses can interbreed. The resulting mules cannot reliably breed.
It is unlikely to observe cross-breeding in nature. Tarantula breeders occasionally report that hybrids have been produced.
To interbreed successfully, two species of spiders would need to be close enough that the female would not regard the male as prey. Differences in appearance, in breeding times, in recognition signals, etc., can all support the differentiation of species. In places where there is no great shortage of either males or females of one species, it is probably pretty unlikely that interbreeding would occur. On the other hand, there is no way to prove that hybrids are never produced.

What kind of spider bite would leave a small circle rash on upper thigh?
The location of an insect bite generally doesn't affect its shape too much. If it's a small, circular rash, however, that sounds like a brown recluse bite in its early stages. I'd get that treated IMMEDIATELY, as it could get pretty bad, pretty fast, and might even be lethal. Seriously, you could have a gaping, bloody, disgusting infection covering about half the circumference of your leg within a week if you don't get it treated.

How do spiders survive you harsh winters?
Spiders like the garden orb weavers, argiopes, widow varieties that only live one season, will die in Winter, leaving behind their egg sac for the next season. Other spiders like tarantulas and fishing spiders, that live longer may hibernate in Winter spending the cold weather under tree bark or rocks, or in cellars and attics. Some adults survive by preparing a winter nest of silken webbing under loose bark within which they are insulated from the cold. In several species, young spiderlings hatch out, then remain in a communal webbed egg sac through the winter. Those spiders that hibernate in leaf litter and in rock piles often are not deeply asleep, and on mild winter days may crawl about in search of insect food that is plentiful and easy to secure in its dormant state. Young spiders often take refuge in moss, and should you bring a clump into the house, be prepared to have spiderlings and many other little hibernating creatures crawl out as warmth unlocks their muscles and increases their metabolism and consumption of oxygen.
