My son saw a spider like this in Bonner MT. He says it was huge! What kind of spider is this? How big is the one in the pic?
I have no idea what kind it is. I wish I did. It was very large my 17byear old son is not afraid of spiders and he would not go near it
This spider is not native to Montana, I am curious to know if you got the spider out of your house? And how. That thing is so scarey
These spiders are all over in my house and how I got rid of that one was I killed it. If they’re not Montana native I have no idea how they got in here. The people that lived here before me came from Arizona so I don’t know if they had a stowaway spider or what
From what I can see, it looks like a species of huntsman spider.
Are they poisonous?
They can be aggressive if provoked, and yes, they are venomous. Normally they will leave you alone unless it’s a female guarding her eggs.
