Damn what a huge thing!! (Hmm...could be the first time this sentence is not used sex-related on a porn board)

About the size of a standard CD, a newly described spider is now considered the largest in a class of web-spinners.

(...)

The oversized dimensions — a body length of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) and a leg span of 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12 cm) — describe the females of N. komaci only. The males, which are considered normal-size spiders, are on average five times smaller.

Unless they're poisonous, spiders don't scare me. Except for the ones in the original Resident Evil, those ones scared the living shit out of me when I was little.

They should have called it a 7 legged spider ! :1orglaugh

I know, I know, spiders molt and grow new legs where necessary. ;)


"The female is 5 times larger ?" :eek:
Fellas, how 'bout it ? wouldn't that be cool if your 'ol lady was the size of a '59 Cadillac ?

So how do you know if they are poisonous? Can you recognize and name spiders on sight?

Black Widow and Brown Recluse are the big ones in my area and I know what they look like on sight. If I don't know what they are, I will be cautious when dealing with them. I won't run around screaming and jumping up and down.
