I have to do the same. I tell her I will kill it but I actually take it back down to the basement and release it.

I had this one on my front step tonight. With it's legs stretched out I'd say it was 3.0-3.5" across, maybe a little more. It seemed pretty aggressive when I'd tap the step. I've never seen a spider around here that was so large. Any idea what it is?

^ Hmm. That looks like the kill it with fire variety.

You'd better kill it with fire.

That's the type of spider that you keep in your bed as a buddy.

Or better yet, put it in someone else's bed.

Looks like a Dock Spider to me:



Do you happen to live by a stream or body of water by chance?

Thanks! It does look very similar. I'm in NS so we're never far from water. My house is surrounded by trees but there is a stream about a 5 minute walk along the trail behind the house. There is also a very large lake a 2 minute drive down the road.

I can't see the spider, the picture is too small.

OK, all you spider haters: I dare you to watch this spider video and not think it's cute. BTW, these spiders are about 3mm long.

You should put some NSFW tags around that man. Pretty raunchy stuff!
