Shelob Lives . . .

We were eating dinner outside on the porch the other night and I happened to noticed this ENORMOUS spider near my neighbors porch! It is at least 10x's bigger than the one I posted about earlier. I have named it Shelob, after the grotesquely huge man-eating spider from Lord of the Rings that it is most likely related to.

Can you see it?

It totally gives me the creeps! And I have to walk past it whenever I leave my apartment, blah!

Here it is close up. Does anyone know what kind of spider this is?

Looks like a garden spider, they are welcome because they eat pest bugs. This one looks like he has been extra busy!!
