FTFY. He was about 3" or so across, easily. We decided he (or she) was a Wolf Spider but that is a highly inexpert opinion. I ejected it from the premises twice. Either it eventually took the hint or it has been more careful since. We've seen a couple of smaller ones (2") we presume are offspring.

Not spiders.

Those are opiliones aka harvestmen aka daddy long legs.

My grandmother had them all over her porch/carport and as a kid they would freak me the fuck out every time we would visit in the summer time.

Someone told me they're more closely related to crustaceans.

I misremember or I'm confusing it with pillbug/roly-poly/woodlouse.
