Some kind of orb-weaver...hard to tell from the photo...how big was it and where do you live? Where did you find it? (And don't worry, it's not dangerous or anything) |
I live in southwestern Ontario Canada. The spider was approx. 2-2.5" toe to toe. Didn't want to get to close or try to relocate without first identifying it. Don't want to end up with a doctors visit. ;)

I'll have to snoop a bit for a better ID, but there are no dangerous spiders in Ontario (and it's neither of the two southern species which sometimes wind up up here). Unless you have a freak allergy to spider bites, at the worst you'll get an uncomfortable pinch and mild local reaction to a bite.

Holy crap ! :eek: I usually like spiders but this one ... :yuck: looks a bit too much like a tarentula ! :o

Yuck...my granddaughter just got bit yesterday by a spider.
Poor little baby has a swollen arm and face, here in Ohio we have the brown recluse spider...so she had to have a quick ER visit. After Antibiotics and Steroids she looks a little better. |
:yuck: why oh why did I look. ewwwww I hate those things
|
I don't know what kind of spider it is, but I wouldn't mess with it. I got bit two weeks ago, possibly by a brown recluse, and didn't know a spider could do that much damage. From now on, I'm going to be leery of all spiders . Never did like them, but definately scared of them now.
