Eratigena duellica "giant house spider"

Post by kevinkk »

Last year I first encountered this spider, and now- They're back.
I got a few pictures this time. These guys are fast.
Clearly the term "giant" is subjective. Nevertheless, this is
a startling critter.

Yes, I can see it is much smaller than the Huntsman spiders I get in my house here, their 'legspan' is about the size of my hand.
