He was one big puppy, too big fit in my palm. Harmless but painful if they bite ya, glad he was on the right end of 135mm

JESUS that suckers B I G! I hate Spiders, if I had a spider that big in my house and wanted to take a picture of it that close up. I'd need like a camera with like 100x zoom haha. No way in hell I could get close enough to take a macro looking shot like you did. I'd be like across the fucking room with one of those lenses the Paparazzi use to take pictures of Brittney from like 500 yards away.

how big is that sucker? I know those spiders can be huge, but since it's a super close up my perception is all screwed. the size of a Silver Dollar? the size of a small Pizza?

TOO BIG for me but I'm curious

He was probably 6 or 7cm across the legs.

scary, is it common to spot them over there? I would shat myself if I lived somewhere where those spiders were typical. We have Tarantulas in the US but I almost never see them.

that site said they are often found in cars and hiding behind the visors! I can't imaging pulling down my sun visor and having a spider that damn big falling into my lap, if I was driving I'd crash for sure. I hope by often they mean when found, not often like they're found in most cars.

Common in houses, especially in the country.

Never found one in a car, or heard of that
