Cane according to one of the screaming men, the two in front are its fangs for injecting its deadly venom ! (Wondering if I need to get the nature channel disconnected or is it the sci fi channel)

carol while not tarantula size, it was one of the biggest I seen in this area, little bigger then a quarter. Most spiders here are pretty small.

I swear we had a wolf spider run across the LR and under the recliner once. I thought it was a mouse and went after it. When I turned up the recliner I saw the BIGGEST spider ever. It headed out FAST, I never saw it again. This photo shows one with egg case. But yep they are BIG.

Here's my own teaching moment. The 'fangs" or extra "legs" are pedipalps, used for eating, like a pair of arms.

And no, I didn't look it up, and actually do know the entomological terms for some insects. And arachnids.

Wow you learn something new every day. Don't know anything bout the spider sorry. That Wolf spider is large, I'm not afraid of bugs but by golly I'd give him the right of way. How does one live with black widows or recluse spiders I'd always be checking everything shoes, sheets, furniture, I believe I would go crazier. Lol. Not afraid of bees either but if I get stung I suffer elephantitis of whatever got bit. I've had elephant feet, fingers, hands, and butt, (my husband says I can't blame the bee's for that) lol..

RE: post #1
It shouldn't be but it does look a bit like a Funnel Web, if we were in Australia, I'd call it.

Atracinae

Pictured above is the Victoria Funnel Web


Atracinae, commonly known as Australian funnel-web spiders, is a subfamily of spiders in the funnel-web spider family Hexathelidae.[1] Atracinae consists of three genera: Atrax, Hadronyche, and Illawarra. The subfamily includes species with medically significant venom, six species of which have severely envenomed human victims. The bite of the Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus) is potentially deadly, but there have been no fatalities since the introduction of modern first aid techniques and antivenom.[2] The subfamily contains 35 species. All members of the subfamily are native to Australia.[1]
