It has been a long while since my last creature feature, and this beast takes the big-spider prize.
He clearly beats the world's second biggest spider.

When I saw the link to this entry, I thought, "I bet he's taken a picture with a coin in the shot as well", and I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed. That is a very large spider! Nice photography too - you can see the hairs on its legs 'an evryfing. I had a similar encounter a few years back, which also prompted a picture and a blog post: http://www.maison-de-stuff.net/archives/00000088.html ...however, despite the inconsistent usage of coinage, I think we can safely say yours is bigger than mine (pffffft). Posted by: John on Friday, August 18, 2006 06:32 Unfortunately I didn't take pictures but the Guadaloupe spiders are HUGE compared to that one in the picture... Honest If I hadn't known that there weren't any tarantulas I would have thought that we saw a couple in our room!!!

Posted by: t-boy on Wednesday, November 28, 2007 12:31 i saw one bigger than that is South Africa. it was roughly the size of a small dessert plate. even the guy who came to our cabin to get rid of it was scared!
