Comments & ID Thoughts
Abdomen was larger than my thumbnail. Would guess about 2 inches in diameter. At first I thought that 2 of its legs were missing but on closer inspection it seems that the two closest to its mouth are just smaller in size?

Victoria, 
This beauty crawled out from under the edge of my house and up the garage wall. Bigger than anything I’ve seen in Northern California. Pregnant maybe? At first I thought wolf spider but it doesn’t match any photos. What say the experts?
Hi, this is a Giant Crab Spider/Golden Huntsman – Olios giganteus.
Super cool thanks for the info!
