So, my kids left a small throw blanket on the floor last night, and just a little while ago, I picked it up and put it across my lap...then I looked over and saw this gargantuan spider on the area of the floor where I\'d just taken the blanket from. Needless to say, I am freaking out a bit. Apparently it was dying...probably due to the barrier that I have sprayed around the outer perimeter of my home. We live out in the \'pseudo-boonies\" in Georgia, so I\'ve seen large spiders outside, but NEVER in the house! It looks to be about 3-3-1/2\" long (including the legs) and it appears to be carrying an egg sac...>>cringe
