Used to be a guy that sold and installed window blinds in Bowling Green, KY.
He had a bug shield on the hood of his truck that said "BLIND MAN DRIVING" in reverse lettering, so ya could read it in your rearview mirror.

Was 5 minutes from home when I got the call that I better be there in 3.
My wife had this not so little guy cornered in the hallway. Luckily it was not a bold spider so it stayed still until I got home. With a plastic cup and some paper I had the guy trapped (though I had a shoe on hand in case it made a move for me). He's pretty harmless but scary as hell to see in the house. Released in the backyard (far from the house). More bugs to eat out there anyway... |

Poorer quality on this guy because it's outside near the top of the 5th floor window of the office building where I work. It's between the window and its web, thus facing outward.
Back of the envelope calculations tell me this guy (at about 2 inches) is up the equivalent of 175 spider floors. So basically if you scaled Burj Khalifa and hung out waiting for a moth. |

Nice.
What is the terminal velocity of a spider that size, I wonder. Far less than mine, I reckon.

For what it's worth:
I see about 120 mph for a skydiver's terminal velocity (in the standard flat position with arms/legs out, compared to a Point Break style chase at about 300mph). This article measuring spiders came up with a max of about 1.7 mph (78 cm/s) Ballooning: Data from Spiders in Freefall Indicate the Importance of Posture http://www.americanarachnology.org/J...A_v20_p107.pdf |

Poison Pine
In Australia even the Christmas trees are lethal, in a manner of speaking.
