Awwww
I guess Akron is north of the Really Big Spider Line.
I sure am glad they didn't freak out and try to kill the spider, which is thought to have hitched a ride to Ohio from South Carolina in (or on) the Smiths' car during their recent vacation. Good thing it didn't crawl across the dashboard while Mr. Smith was driving.

From here it looks beautiful, but if it was on my front porch? Yeah, I'd hand the house keys over, too.
Take it. I'll be at the Marriot.
Why do spiders give us the heebie-jeebies anyway? What makes them different from, say, a butterfly or a praying mantis? Spiders are so beneficial, and symbolic of a kind of esoteric wisdom (due to its spinning of webs) that it's a wonder that they're not more popular.
I think this one is beautiful . . . but only from a distance.
What a beautiful creature! Think how many mosquitoes she will eat. (I always think spiders are female because of Charlotte's Web.) I am sad she will die with the frost.
Maybe somebody can give her a ride back home in a fruit crate full of bugs or something.
Agghhh... Glorious spider...as unappreciated as the timid wolf, lobo. I blame Halloween! :>)
six. inches.
(screams quietly so as not to distoib the neighbors)
praying mantii i just don't see that often.
but wrt spiders, i think it's something about the way they move.
also: suspending itself over your head, somehow...
i don't know as i feel -that- much worse about spiders than a number of insects.
...unless they're the size of frigging DINNER PLATES, as i just posted on...
