Agelenopsis or "grass spider". I have these all over my home, so I thought I'd add yet another one to the list. He was cleaning his leg, so I let him finish, then let him outside. They're always so calm and sweet :)

Looks like some type of Funnel-Web Spider, Grass Spider, or Nursery Spider. None of them are dangerous, but no one wants a spider in their house.
Yeah, they get so big too. Like little tarantulas running around my house haha!
Hey, you think these are big, wait til you get a load of my spiders, more like this:
Still gentle giants.
Is that a sand spider!? What species is that? I’m always amazed that people handle such gigantic creatures. I admire your courage 😀
Heteropoda venatoria/huntsman/cane spider/clock spider. these are all over Florida.
Note, this is not my photo,but the spiders are very real.About as big as they get.
Giant swamp spider(fishing spider) get larger by legspan.
You have the golden huntsman, just a tad smaller. Look for them
Do you get these clock spiders in your house over there? I think I’d faint if I turned the light on and saw that on my floor!
Actually, they prefer walls. They can stray indoors, I only had one male lived in my room a couple months, named him Zeus, a good cockroach catcher, trust me,you see those big palmetto bugs, you ready to burn the house down. Zeus hid behind a picture by day, evening he would just chill on the wall waiting for moths,fast enough to run down those big cockroaches. Missed him when he vanished.
Awww, that’s so cool! I wish I had the guts to just leave a giant spider in my room lol.
Hi. cool spiders, I used to keep them as a kid. They are rather quick and timid with hands though, a challenge to catch. Easy enough to pick up from sinks or tubs, I just put them outside.
I just noticed he’s missing a leg! Poor guy, I wonder if my cat got him? Yeah, I can’t handle these spiders, I have to put them in a box and let em go b/c they freak out when they’re touched lol. I think that’s awesome you catch and release as well 🙂
