Holy Shit!
Looks big and that would trigger the stomp the fecker mechanism built into me,but really cool looking. I don't think I'd want that family moving in the hood though.

I think that little rock in the foreground is about 1/4" wide...
Total size = 2 inches?

You've heard of "tissue" spiders, and maybe "shoe" spiders? Well my sister in Herndon says she once found a "toolbox" spider in her basement! After she mashed with the toolbox, she says the legs were visible from both sides still!
