My friend was out camping in central AZ, near a river. This spider was found in the tent. Does anyone know what it is?  photo urlThe “lol” thread | ||

Looks like a suicidal spider. He/she has lost the will to live and crawled across your friend's tent in hopes of camper assisted suicide.

I realize there may not have been an opportunity to place a tape measure or other object pf known size next to it for scale, but how big was it? It looks superficially like a huntsman (family Sparassidae). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntsman_spider | |||

Yep. It's a Central Arizona near river tent spider, on his last legs. Final answer. "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא שוב! | |||

I'm guessing Hobo spider. It looks as if it has 2 mandibles.... Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

| Wait, what? |
Doesn’t look like a hobo or a crab spider; it does bear a passing resemblance to a huntsman- what is the approximate size? “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

The cake is a lie! |
It's best to place your hand next to it and take a pic so we can determine the size. | |||

Since he is wearing fluorescent orange, I think Huntsman is correct... | |||

You guys are disappointing me. Where is the SF attention to detail? Everyone knows that there are 18 screen holes per inch on regulation tent netting!  The rear right leg of this spider lines up on the mesh, and clearly traverses 18 screen holes to the body. Diagonally across the body, which is about 12 mesh squares, we see the very long second leg. It measures 32 mesh squares in length. 32 + 12 + 18 = 62 squares. 62 / 18 = 3.4 inches. Ipso facto, this spider is big enough to cover the palm of the average human being. ------- Trying to simplify my life... | |||
