Yeah, the bigger ones (2"-3"), you can see those 8 eyes A LOT better.Even those with 8 eyes!
This one was a juvenile. When you see those 2" molts is when it gets serious!

How large was he? Hard to tell from the pic, but seems fairly large.I went to bed early tonight because my stump was hurting. When I take my pain meds and go to bed it only takes about 20-30 minutes and I'm out.
Well, after being asleep for about 3 hours, I was awaken by the little critter in the pic below. I felt him walking across my face! I slapped him off of me and then gently swatted him with the fly swatter I keep next to bed just for things like this. He was just stunned a little bit. I put my leg on, picked him up, and carried him outside. He eventually scurried away.
When was the last time a spider, or a bug, woke you up in bed?

He/she is only about1-1/2" (fangs to rear end). See the right rear leg kicked out? I tried grabbing 'em by his rear end but he kept squirming away. So, I grabbed that leg and set 'em on my lap top for his photo-op. After I took his pic I just "walked" him into my hand and took him outside. He eventually scurried away.How large was he?

Some 30 years ago, while living in Florida, I remember waking up with something crawling through my hair. It was a spider, but not a very big one. I am not a fan of spiders in general.
I spent 3 days in hospital from one (bit on left hip). Terrible! I still have a divot there.I got bit on the lower leg by a Brown Recluse back in 2010. Its bite makes a hole in you. The hole is mostly filled in now after having months of wearing gauze and sterile water around it. Dr Palmer's cream from Dollar General is what the dermatologist recommended. I also lived in Phoenix and we had lots of Black Widows out there. I have found a solution to spiders in the house though. It is called Osage Orange or Hedge Apple. Find a tree that has them and put them in a brown grocery back near your central air intake. No spiders and no smell that people smell.
Um, what?Guys, you're making feel good about living here!
The cold weather keeps the worst of the worst spiders away!Um, what?
Yup, a bit of -30 is nothing if it means those spiders can't live here!The cold weather keeps the worst of the worst spiders away!

Nah, I have owned red knee Tarantulas.Gotta go check my pants . May have ed them .
I prefer smaller spiders .Nah, I have owned red knee Tarantulas.
The only 3 spiders that worry me are;
1) Funnel Web (It might be a species of Australia, but it still scares the BAJEEZUS out of me!)
2) Brown Recluse
3) Black Widow
In that order.
I have a few jumping spiders around my apt. They hang out mostly in my windows. If you want to keep your interior bug infestation down, adopt a jumping spider.I prefer smaller spiders .
Man, after reading the first 2 sentences of your reply I almost spit water all over my laptop!Nope nope nope nope absolutely not nope I’d have set the house on fire right then and there. I absolutely cannot stand spiders. Make fun of me all you want, but I make my wife kill them for me. I’m return I handle the stink bugs, which she feels the same way I feel about spiders.
