Has anyone ever seen this spider?

I found a hobo spider that size crawling across my bedroom floor... last year I think it was. Scared the ever loving @*#& out of me. I put a tupperware container on top of it and took a pic. I'll have to dig that out. Big big big big big spider. Hobos have a nasty bite too. Least a Huntsman is rather docile

If you mean genus Tegenaria, yes, they actually have a somewhat medically interesting venom and can produce substantial local symptoms of envenomation.

All spider haters must click here.

Tanith are you sure it's not a common wolf spider?

They like the humid climates of the south (I'm from East TX originally), can grow to be the size of the palm of your hand and like to hide out in dark recesses.



FYI if that is what it is, they're harmless and eat the hell out of bugs. Leave'em be.
