Comments & ID Thoughts
found in the bathroom in my partner’s basement! we lovingly named him ‘spiders george,’ gave him some sugar water to combat the heat (which he seemed to enjoy!), and then released him outside. i’m thinking he could be a barn funnel weaver, or a giant house spider? i’m unsure if the web under him in the photo is his or if it was there before, that photo was taken when he was behind the shower curtain in a crevice that we don’t pay much attention to. thanks in advance! :)

Giant house spider is my vote. You don’t really do them any jutice tossing them outsie.
thanks for the info! the only reason why we didn’t keep him inside is because we have a cat who would’ve found him pretty quick, and we were worried he was going to meet an untimely fate. next time we find one, we’ll see if we can relocate it to somewhere else in the house away from the cat.
