when we were visiting my friend who lives outside of Austin it was the teeny little black widow spiders we didnt want to sit on by accident. Took pix tho.
You know it's bad when you can hear the spider moving. Most of the ones we have in this country are too small to be heard, but a month or two ago I head a weird tapping on my wall above me.. eurgh.. the worst thing was that it ran off when I tried to trap it in a glass, so I had to sleep not knowing where it was.
I HOPE SHE'S OKAY!!! DO NOT GO TO THE LIGHT, CASSIE!!!
seriously, tho, we used to have these garden spiders back in georgia... omg. they were so large, they had to weave a patch of camophlage on their web to keep its prey blind to its presence.
it's hard to get a sense of scale here, but if you can believe it, these guys can grow to be six inches from stem to stern. we had about six in the bushes by the front window.
