Good lord that thing is huge, I'm generally not scared of spiders but seeing one of those up close and I'd run away screaming

Wolf spider?

What part of the US are you in?

 

[Revving2Redline]

Wow, thats a spider. We got Brown Recluse spides here. Eats your skin away. They are small,but move quick and make Black Widow bites seem tame.

This guy took up residence by our front door all last summer. Ate lots of bugs so we just let him be.

I've got those wolf spiders all around my property. The biggest one's I've seen were 2" long and hung around and inside my 3 ft diameter surface well cap. They jump good too and scare the heck out of you.

Wolf spiders are intimidating, for sure. My wife got one in the heater vent of the car two winters in a row. The she told me that she was asking her friend what kind of spider it could have been (poisonous or not) and described it as a wooly spider. He asked if this thing was bothering her.

I like the hobos, at one of the clinics I work at there are a dozen every year the size of my hand.

That looks like an Orb Weaver spider. We get lots of them around the outside of the house at this time of year. I let them be as they catch quite a few bugs and their webs are quite a work of art to look at!

Looks too light in the photos for a wolf spider. I don't think they are spotted like that either.

Saw a huge one a few weeks ago while swimming in the pond. I threw it at the girlfriend.

We only have them around the pond actually.

Get out the RAID.

 

[Yah-Tah-Hey]

Leave it alone. Just think of all the unseen problems that spider takes care of for you.

I'm not a fan of spiders, but I'm getting used to the bigger ones we get on our deck. Back in the East we used to get big dock spiders that looked like that fella.

I would most definitely kick it out of bed for eating crackers. lol

Forget that. I am moving to Antarctica. I consider myself a guys guy but spiders make me scream like a little girl.
