[Willl]

That's a big shop spider :icon_cool:

We just had our first freeze, guessing most of our spiders are gone now, unless they moved indoors, lol

[willtill]

We are finding spiders indoors now... they don't freak me out; my wifey on the other hand... :shhh:

Cat ain't doing it's job. Must have a talk with it. :icon_wink:

[F6B1911]

Yeah, if they can't find a Harley, they just move on to the next garage.

The hell with them....*I* would move on to another garage if it were me. I'm a wimp, I admit it.....spiders give me the heebie jeebies. Which is a real problem, because this house is full of the little bastards.

They are mean and don't care if your 2 inches tall or 10 feet tall they are going to fight you if you mess with them, very fast and agile and amoung the top hunting spiders out there.! But I would rather see a wolf spider in my shop than a Brown recluse spider. If the wolf spider bites you it will definitely hurt but if a Brown Recluse spider bites, you need an antidote as fast as you can get it as their venom start rotting the flesh and will keep going without the antidote. Wolf spider just hunt the creepy crawlers in your shop don't hurt him and he will clean all of them out.

Is that not a brown Huntsman spider? I don't think that is a wolf spider.

The huntsman has a brown spear down the center of its abdomen there is not one on his picture.

Looks more like a Dolomedes Fishing Spider. Here is another picture.

17771

North America
Nine species of Dolomedes exist in North America. The six-spotted fishing spider (D. triton) lives primarily in small lakes and ponds. This spider consumes mostly water striders (pond skaters), but like all Dolomedes, it is an opportunistic ambush hunter that will eat anything that it can capture. Other species include the bog-dwelling D. striatus, and four species living by streams: D. scriptus, D. vittatus, D. gertschi and D. holti. Two North American species, D. tenebrosus and D. okefinokensis, exhibit female giganticism and/or male dwarfism, with their males being less than half the size of the females. The ninth species is the arboreal D. albineus.

The fishing spiders (family Pisauridae) are frequently mistaken for wolf spiders (family Lycosidae), but the arrangement of the eyes is graphically different between the two families; and fishing spiders are more likely to be seen in the vertical plane (whereas wolf spiders, while they can climb, are mostly seen in the horizontal plane on the ground, stones, and logs).

Not a bugs specialist - just a google specialist!

We definitely need a bug specialist to solve this one, all the pictures are close to what he had, but what would a fishing spider be doing in his shop? Where the Huntsman and the wolf would be right at home.

wow! You watched the spider for 2 days and didn't squash it? I must be meaner than you. Ha!:icon_lol:

F--K THAT! I'm with you, Simon. I'd move immediately and burn down that garage.....crap, now I'm covered in goosebumps.

When I got close to him to tape that dollar up, he growled at me! Just kidding....it stayed right there in that very spot for two days and never moved, then it was just gone? No I was not going to kill it big spiders don't bother me, it's the little ones that me nervous. When I was little my dad had a black widow in a jar and it was really tiny you could hardly see the red "hour glass" on it and what I remember about it most,... being small!

Congratulations on being the first owner of a Gold Wing Spider.

[naga viper]

I have those spider all over my property.
When I had my grandfather's dump truck there was one that was 11" living in it.
I don't mind them outside but not in the house.
