I started googling these items, but honestly, trying to match a picture with another picture, viewing hundreds that look the same....ugh. Too tough. So, as I run across these many things around here, I'll post them on a small blog post, for you, my trusty friends, to tell me what it is! It's called.... Whazziss?
Spider in the Laundry Room
I found this guy while doing laundry last August in the basement.
I never saw him after this.

He was the second huge spider we had seen in the house.
I've seen quite a large number of ginormous grass/funnel spiders outside. This isn't the same type.
I did some research, and we have a few large spiders in this neck of the woods.
Grass, funnel, wolf, and.... a few I can't remember off the top of my head.
He has very distinct markings on his back. He was a brownish-grey & fuzzy. I'd say the diameter, including his legs, was about 4 inches total.
Do you know what type of spider this guy is?
Yucky, thats a wolf spider.
ReplyDeleteYuppers! That circular spot w/ the marking cinched the deal when researching. :-) We've had 3 of them in the house since moving here. Huge. I remember them when I was a kid in Iowa too.
