Leg span 3.25 inches (8.25 cm). Now, you may think that he is a common Giant House Spider. But I have it on good authority that he and his comrades in terror were radioactively mutated to giant size in a top secret North Korean nuclear facility, and their venom laced with the horrific mind-control element Kimjongunium-117. They were then smuggled into the south and sent to the U.S. in a Hyundai shipping container. All this being a nefarious plot to turn us into mindless zombie commie followers of the chubby-cheeked dictator. After doing my photographer's duty, I was required to do my husbandly duty: I whacked him. In "The Sopranos" sense. --Peter
