that little thing......welcome to Florida. I see those all the time..although that is whopper. Wolf spider ..prob a South Carolina model , I think they are the biggest of the wolf family and may be the biggest spider native to the states.... They say they are burrowers. but I have never seen one on the ground...unless it's under my foot.

catch one more like that and you got a sandwich

that is flat out freaky
It would take the cat the better half of the night to crunch that one up and swallow it.

looks like the big ol furry dock spiders we get up here. 6 to 8 inc leg spans are about average for a full grown female. Not poisonous but BIG teeth leave a nasty mark.

Tbone, OK I was drunk at the time I saw it. 3:00AM at AQUA PIZZA a couple years ago.
I think the spiders ate the rats on the Aqua Pizza barge out there, that's how they got so large!

Gary, LOL i can relate to the spiders at Aqua Pizza! once walked though a web one must have cast across the walk way....i swear it was pulling me in!!! .....or maybe i was loosing my ballance at the time! either way i dont like big spiders!

Damn, I think I'd have to break out a 12 gage to kill that thing! That is one big ass spider!!!

Banana spiders are huge too!
My dad used to shoot them in FL.
