Video of a giant spider that has taken up residence in the KHAS-TV garage.
Of the 38,000 species of spiders it's hard to tell what this one is without a closer view, measurements, and perhaps observation of its nesting, feeding and reproductive habits. Nice specimen though.
Not common garden spider.I was bitten by a spider 3 yrs ago and almost died from infection from the bite.This a Hobo spider you have there.they are nasty,and they are called Hobo spiders because the "hitch a ride on your clothes into your house.
for christ,s sake swat it before it gets away
Swat it heck. I would use a whole can of Raid.
I can't believe I even clicked on this link! I hate spiders! We have some that look sort of like that living in our trees. Creepy!

I have a spider like this one that returns to our garden every Summer. This bright yellow spider with the aliem looking markings is referred to as the common Garden Spider. They are not considered poisonous but can inflict a nasty bite that festers.
