How big is 'huge'? Regardless, it looks adorable - I think I have arachnophilia (funny that the spell check flags it as misspelled).

Maybe like... somewhere around 3/4 of an inch? I dunno, I only just now found a tape measure to compare with my memory of the spider's size. It was definitely way bigger than the jumping spiders I usually see.

Also I just found this today on one of my rose leaves



I thought it was some kind of nasty cocoon at first, but when I was about to scrape it off, I noticed it had some very spider-looking legs. Can't get a good picture, though. My camera always hates white things.
