Mystery Spider....

last night i turned around from the computer to find the biggest wild spider I have ever seen, with out a doubt, I was wondering if anyone can identify it from this dodgy pic lol, I had to take a picture before I got rid of it lol (I didnt kill it, I released it outside) by the way its my dads hand not mine so it gives some idea of the size!!!!

looks like a common house spider to me, but unsure of the scientific name of that one.

probably Tegenaria gigantea

How come I can handle my adult chile with no problems, but the picture of that monster makes me shudder? Crazy, isnt it.

This one isn't locked away ..
Any spider makes me shudder and this is fine compared to a chile for me ..

im the same i can handle a tarntula, but as soon as i see a house spider i shudder and jump around on the spot, i have to catch them in tissue. one time i was extremely high at a house party and i managed to pick one up hahaha!

to date that is the only spider I have been bitten by , i picked one up to take it out of the house and within seconds it had bitten me and I could feel it trying to munch on me , it never broke the skin, but it wasnt for the want of trying ... Little $$$tard

Tiny. You should see some of the monsters I've caught over the years.
