Looks like it could be a wolf spider. Did it have long fangs? Can't really tell from this photo. If so - I would definitely say it is.
ReplyDeleteYes that looks like a wolf spider, but banana tree spiders get real big too. I chased one once, on our back porch, it was as big as my daughters foot. Ugh, I didn't get it though. I think I scared it enough to not come back.
ReplyDeleteIt could be a wolf spider or just a brown spider, we get those in our house, they are huge and disgusting.
ReplyDeleteMy husband took a picture from a different angle, and the fangs do show. I too think it is a wolf spider. By the way, my husband deep sea dives and has swam with the sharks off the Florida coast and the only creature he fears...you guessed it...spiders! Spiders are everywhere here in the mountains of the Carolinas, so he walks through the woods with great caution! The bugs don't bother me though...well except for the roaches. However, I have never seen roaches in the woods up here yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the feedback.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI live in Wilmington, NC and while I haven't seen them, my daughter lives on the other side of town and said her neighbor's house and grounds have tons of spiders and they have a few that look like what you are describing. The ones they have are new to this country, called "Banana spiders" because they seem to have arrived here from other countries in banana shipments. Might be interesting to look them up online!
Anyway, just a little thought.
Blessings,
Maitri
That SURE doesn't look like our New York wolf spiders, holy cow! They only get as big as a quarter, and those are considered enormous.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maitri...banana spiders? I have never heard of those. I will look them up.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Mecomber...this was a very large spider and that's why I was not sure it was a wolf spider. I may need to keep looking for a match.
Thanks for the visit ladies.
