Ooooooooweeee!!! Those argiopes get big. Saw one at the ranch last weekend that measured at least four inches from leg tip to leg tip! UGH!!!

Found this guy (have no idea what kind it is) in my back yard last year...it had a web strung between my citrus trees...freaked me out when I walked into the web and saw this big bugger out of the corner of my eye! I knocked down the web but it was back again the next morning...so I got the camera and took a photo.

The belly of this one was about as big as a penny. SCARY!!! It also had several honey bees wrapped up for snacking :o) No wonder it was so big and healthy!
