This thing is a beast!

I have him trapped in the bathtup in a plastic container. Must transport him to a place with better light for more pics. Wish me luck!

Update 1:
Added Pic2 to show scale.

Update 2:
I am about to move the container into a room with more light since the bathroom fixture is not working. God Speed to myself!

Update 3:
I slid a sheet of paper under Goliath, as shown here. I then managed to get the container lid under him, although it is not shut tight: Pic4.

Update 4:
He's now in a drinking glass, covered with the plastic container. A few more shots, then he's being released.

Update 5:
After final cataloging, he's been released into the wild. So no one calls Shens, here you go: Pic7.

If you have a good shot and have a BB gun or something..get it right smack in the middle. It'll explode in a perfect diameter. I've done this with a dragon fly and it was cool as hell.

OMFG that spider is tiny!

I've got those wolf spiders all over here. They sometimes crawl around on my bed while I'm trying to sleep. Really annoying

so instead of waking up with a spider on you, you wake up with a crocodile putting your leg in a death roll?

Be my guest.

Stop being a lazy self content nerd and take 2 seconds out of your boring ass, common house spider catching and cataloging life to help out the rest of the people who mistakingly wondered into your terrible thread thinking it was worth the click.

You posted a worthless thread on ATOT about some tiny house spider you "trapped" and documented on a friday night, don't act like you're above cropping a picture.

Like I said, be my guest and crop them. Seriously, you should do whatever you need to do to feel better about yourself.
