Brown Reclusive Spiders - not good. I would be totally scared.

I think the biggest house spider I was was about an inch.

I think the biggest spiders we have here are Nursery web spiders.

Ah yes, spider soup. This guy was huge, got that shiver up the back. While taking pics I came to realize I was trapped in a field of a ton of serious webs that i kept backing into. Got out of there fast.
