This spider found on a bedroom wall. Despite the exposure there is no green in the color. It was solid black and it was the size of a loonie.

Thank-you! I am not a spider enthusiast per se but we live in a rural area and probably will post many more pictures. Know my birds out here, maybe next are spiders and butterflies.
