Has anyone ever seen this spider?

My buddy found this spider in FL in his shed. He said it was the size of his fist when it was not curled up.

WTF kind of spider is this?

We have those in Anguilla. I lived there for almost a year and they were all over the place - they mostly came out at night to bugs and small children.

That's one huge spider! I would have went Mean D style on it.

I was inclined to say a wolf, but after looking at that chart, I could go either way.

Here is a link to a site with nearly all varieties of Florida spiders.
http://www.floridanature.org/class.asp?class=Arachnida

Possibly Hogna Georgicola?

Adriftpanda · 10-01-2009, 08:20 PM

Thats effing gross. Kill that thing.
