Comments & ID Thoughts
This was in my doorway this afternoon. So it was inside, barely. We are in Northern Kentucky. If the legs were spread out fully, it would be about the size of a softball maybe.

Hi, see above image for ID. 🙂
Thank you!!
Do the males have extremely long legs compared to the female or does it just look that way because the body is smaller?
Probably a bit of both. I don’t know how the average size compares between the sexes with leg diameters..
