Too creepy for me!

I found a large leathery one in my washer. Made husband get him out. One came running across a closed box of church cookbooks in the living room, got to the edge and jumped. I screamed and pulled my feet up on the sofa. Husband ran for flyswatter. Not easy to find on our printed rug. Threw body outside as a warning to other spiders.

I went out into the garden last week and found one of these. They are huge but not dangerous. The web was covered with mist and was over 4 feet across. I had been going to cut down some of the cannas and dig them up but this thing was so beautiful I just had to leave it alone. I noticed yesterday that the web was completely destroyed and there is no sign of the spider this morning so I guess it is time to go back out and finish my project. Hope she had lots of babies so we can enjoy them next year. Ann in TN
