I'll love him, and hug him and call him George!

Jared found this huge spider in our window well, and he was all excited about it. It's the biggest spider he's seen in the wild! So, he pointed it out to me, and I caught it for him. How's that for true love? Of course once I caught it, I had to photograph it, (can't help myself!).
Here it is next to a quarter, for reference. Isn't it a beauty? Don't worry, we did a catch and release with this monster. After the photoshoot, I put him back outside! (Makes ya wanna come visit my house huh?)
While we're at it....
Here's a cockroach we found at Disneyland last year! Look at the size of that motha!

And here's our cat! Why, next to that quarter, he's huge!!!!!

You never cease to amaze me. That spider has made me itchy all over. If it makes its way to my house I think I will move. Love the cat addition with the quarter. I love the way your brain works.

Remind me not to walk through your back yard! You don't think spiders can cross the street?

That's a wolf spider! They can get pretty darn big. They are wanderers, and tend to look for their prey at night. They aren't a spider that likes to stay on a web for very long. They aren't poisonous, but can still bite.
