This is right up Veph's ally... :lol:

My 5 year old looked out on the deck this morning and suddenly said "HOLY MOLY!!! Look at the size of THAT!!!! You gotta see THIS!!" So I looked out where she was pointing and almost immediately said a few colorful words...lol.
Then I went and woke the Hubby up to come catch it! LOL. Even he was impressed by the size of it (since most of this species we find are only half the size)

We -think- it is a 'false' black widow... Someone on DA Identified it as a Hacklemesh weaver, here's a clear picture from google that fits the spider.

I kinda like these spiders because they are very different from the usual or common spiders...I just wish they didn't get so...big. XD
Hubby let it go in the grass before he left for work...wish he'd chosen a location further away though.
