Comments & ID Thoughts
We have never seen a spider this large on our property. I saw it on the inside of the skimmer of our pool when I was emptying the skimmer basket. There were two - one black, one brown.

They were maybe 2.5″ in diameter with round bodies and long legs. Looked terrifying. My son killed them…
Hi, they might’ve been various species of wolf spiders. I just saw one and it was rather plump looking. They aren’t dangerous, avoid having them pressed against your skin. They might bight in fear of being trapped or squished. Please catch and release in the future.
