Thanks in advance.:)

Kind of hard to i.d. when the color is distorted, sorry.

Damn that's big . What did you do with it ? I use deodorant and a fire . I roaster them .:cool:

I stained over it and it got stuck to the wood and died lol :D

Looks like a regular orb weaver garden spider. Here's one unfinished:

Actually it looked like an ant crossed with a beetle and spider lol
