Comments & ID Thoughts

I'm honestly not sure what this is, but thinking possibly a garden ghost spider? It's way too big to be a brown recluse. It was a little over 2in.

Thank you! Thank you for the response as well! He was quite big, so I had no idea! We haven’t been in the area very long, …and was my first time seeing one. Many tried telling me a recluse, but he was way too big for that.
