Toni ran into the web of this big beastie in the forest... she survived, but returned to take it's picture... About 5 inches across!
Florida so far reigns King Supreme of Beasts, Insects and Aliens: we have rattlesnakes, scorpions, huge spiders, lizards of all sorts, flying cockroaches, West Nile virus mosquitoes, and UFO's (Gulf Breeze is famous for 'em!)
22 Oct 2008: Found a website that showed this big spider as an "Orb Weaver Spider"...
