What's the largest spider you ever seen?

Theyre a very placid, but at times skittish species.

@Allelse Wow

@Mguinm The stripey ones are realky cool!!

@Harlow Still look horrifying and awesome. +1

@Harlow Awwwwww! Like Charlotte's Web!

@Allelse yep 😄 hehe

@Mguinm Well at that size I imagine it'd be fairly slow.

@TeirdalinFirefall still very horrifying

@emptysoul44 Yep, it's a type of tarantula. Apparently the largest spider by size by shorter leg-span than the giant huntsman spider.

@TeirdalinFirefall she must have a strong web to catch birds

@emptysoul44 Seems it mostly eats bugs, but has been known to eat them. Looking up online, apparently it doesn't use its web to catch things but rather the vibrations.

"The Goliath patiently waits, sensing the vibrations around the entrance of its burrow, with its sensitive hairs. As soon as it senses a potential prey animal, the spider burst out from the burrow to grab it."

@TwiddlerofThumbs Good thing it didn't sense your fear.

It was a huntsman

@Fishy Judging from the other picture of a huntsman, sounds intense.

@PrivateHell Rest in totinos pizza rolls, Privatehell.

@Rutterman Must have been pretty awesome though.

@TeirdalinFirefall It was.
