>>6135286Just for reference. That's my size 12 EE foot. Fucker was just about 5" leg spread. Crawled out from the siding of our house when I was washing it. Eastern Pennsylvania. No idea what species. They're pretty common around here, but usually about half that size. I kept him in a jar for about two months, feeding him cockroaches and crickets until he was about twice this fat, then turned him loose outside.
Some distance away.
I mean, I like spiders just fine. But shit. Had no intention of waking up with his thing crawling across my face.
