The world's largest known spider is a male goliath bird-eating spider (Theraphosa blondi) collected by members of the Pablo San Martin Expedition at Rio Cavro, Venezuela in April 1965. It had a record leg-span of 28 cm (11 in) - sufficient to cover a dinner plate. This species is found in the coastal rainforests of Surinam, Guyana and French Guiana, but isolated specimens have also been reported from Venezuela and Brazil.

A two year old spider of the same species, bred by Robert Bustard and reared by Brian Burnett of Alyth, Perthshire also had a leg span of 28 cm (11 in) and weighed 170 g (6 oz) in February 1998.

Body length: 280 mm, Weight: 50 g, lifespan: 10 years, discovered: 1804.

I like the spider but if I saw it in person I would probably scream like a girl and run away and take cover.

After throwing everything I had at it and then burning down my house I would call animal control.

At least you don't live in any of the places he mentioned. I have no idea what I would do to be honest. That thing is so big I would dread the sound of crushing it (if I could even get it).

I would stand from a distance and throw shit at it then never touch those items again.

AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Poor Anar. I'll bet you will see it at some point and then curse this thread xD I genuinely winced when I read the bit about the sound of crushing it. Made me think of the sound of crunching bones or something. Ewwwwwwwwww.

Oh, what would I do?
Run. Then ask Anar to safely let it free somewhere where I wouldn't be tempted to throw a fireball at it.
