Anyone know what Spider looks like a Brown Recluse, just MUCH larger?

[aphex]

We were sitting on the patio last night, outside the screen on the gutter we saw a GIGANTIC spider.

It looked alot like a brown recluse (http://www.surviveoutdoors.com/imgs/ref...ce/spiders/brown-recluse-spider-4.jpg) just MUCH larger. I would say the legs were each a good 3-4" long.

Any ideas?

Like the kind in Arachnophobia? Those looked like big brown recluse spiders to me.

correct me if i'm wrong, brown recluse spiders usually have seven legs.

You're wrong. They have eight legs, as do all species in the class Arachnida. They do have six eyes though.

Did it look like this or this?

that just sounds like a BIG brown recluse....I'd get the damned orkin man over there quick....just don't tell him what he's up against or he may not come over.
They are poisonous...and one that big is the one that could actually HURT a human.
I would have poured gas on it , and flipped matches at it and sent it back to hell where it belongs!!!
The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers!!!!

It's called "The face eating brown recluse". If there is one outside, then that means there are morein the house. They prefer to attack at night and eat your face off.

I wonder if it was one of these, http://bugguide.net/node/view/18386

It was kinda dark out, but the spider looked dark brown, almost black in color. And was actually a little bigger than the one in that pic.

I think I would have gotten a shovel and started swinging.

That is 100% a brown recluse in the link. My house was infested with them.
Dont get bitten and there is a shot you can get if you do get bitten and will have to be admistered right away.

One tale tell sign if your was or not is the fiddle on its back. If it didnt have that then yours wasnt it. Must have that though to be one.

you two should know he hasn't linked to a specific spider he saw, just spiders that remind him of the one he saw.
a LOT of spiders look a lot like other spiders too, btw. only telltale 'symbols' on some species (like the recluse species), or crazy formations on the body (like the crab spider, a type of orb weaver), give away the species to the untrained person.
