Oooo, he's staring at you with his beady eyes. Several of them!

Nice details in the pic of this hairy little guy

:shock::shock:

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Dang, that's a BIIIG spider!!

Ok, now that I've calmed down from the fright... just how big a spider is it exactly? The reason I ask is because it looks an awful lot like a "dock spider" which is around 3-4 inches across... compared to the wolf spiders we get around here that are a mere 1-1.5 inches.

Gotta say that photo is great! It looks just like he/she wants to jump off the screen at ya!!

On some level, not looking at the legs, that spider is actually kind of cute, and a little doofus looking...

Still don't want to find it on my bed in the middle of the night though...

Well. it was just under 3 inches. no i did not squash it, i even held it briefly. ha! we have dock spiders here too but they are much more slender. this guy is a fat one.
