Largest Web-Spinning Spider Discovered (BEWARE! Pic inside!)

Sautee a couple of those bad boys in extra virgin olive oil, add some mushrooms and jalapeno peppers. Serve hot with wild rice and garnish with cilantro....:yummie:

Need to see it compared to a human hand or something, that would put it into perspective.

As creepy as they look, spiders do actually play a very important roll in all things Earth.
1) They eat other creepy things, like ants, flies, gnats, other spiders, rats and small yipping dogs.
2) They guard valuable treasure. Most of the time.
3) They make people who are otherwise insignificant feel like something as they brag to everyone else, who are cowering from the creature, "I can kill it. Ain't nothin' but a spider." Of course, this is the same guy who, during your hike of the Amazon, will be dragged to a screaming death to a large spider pit.

Yeah. I had to kill one of those because it was building a web on my farm. Over the barn, and across the wheat fields. I killed it with napalm and an F-16. But now I owe the defense department $160,000,000. Can anybody help??:wave:
 
Well, 10 to 12 cm is a pretty nasty size for a spider. We got one particular web-spinning species in my area whose specimen can get almost that big. Most of them are about 7 or 8 cm. But once in a couple of years you come across one that is as big as the palm of your hand (about 10-11 cm), which happened to me not even a month ago. I was sitting at my desk, raised my head to think and there she was, sitting on one of my scripts about three feet away, staring me right in the face. The first moment was so bizarre, I didn't even get it, that there was actually a huge spider sitting on my papers, till I caught myself making some stupid sound like a "moooh". Normally, when a spider realizes she has been spotted, she runs. This bastard however was so big, she just didn't care. She just kept watching me, how I took off my shoe and circled around to the side next to her to smack her over the head. Strange moment.

I bet she was a juicy kill; she sounds pretty big.

It's not that bad people. Really. The picture may make it look big, but overall its a pretty tiny feller.
