So, I have been housesitting for my bosses for the past few days. Had some great fun this morning when I reached into my shaving bag and accidentally discovered this spider. Yes. I shreiked like a little girl. This thing was huge (measuring about 3″ long). So, I immediately grabbed the camera ’cause I knew no one would believe me when I told them how big it was. Please note the spider’s size compared to that of the bottle of my brain meds. Yow!
[Addendum: Please know that I am generally not squeemish around bugs and such. But grow one past about 1″ and I get a little freaky.]
[Addendum (Redux): I am thinking that my fuzzy friend this morning was a Fishing Spider.]

Yikes! That thing is huge!
good jee-a-zis! what the fuck is that thing?!
Cute.
God, I can’t STAND spiders.
So, did you bring him from your house in your shaving bag or did he crawl in over there?? Where’s Terminix when you really need them??
Is everything that big at your house?
LOL at Homer’s comment!
Cheezus on a cracker! That’s a big spider! No matter how long I’ve lived out in Arizona, big spiders in my home still creep me the fuck out!
oh. my. god.
See, that’s why I don’t live in the south. 😉
I would probably faint if I saw that in my house. Christ.
I’m not scared of spiders but that thing is f**kin’ creepy. Kill it Kill it Kill it.
