That is a BIG spider! Just be glad DJ isn`t into insect collecting yet, the little boy next door to us has a collection of large beetles that live under the windows in the front of their apartment.. I am dreading the day that Joey gets into that kind of thing!!!
I was reading over the list of critters that spider eats. Humans are not on the list but mosquitos are. I believe I'd build the spider its own little palace

It's not a black widow and it's not a brown recluse. There are no other poisonous spiders in the USA (although some will bite).
I'll have to check out Alison's link.
Around here we call them Jacob's Ladder spiders. Harmless to humans, but they'll eat quite a few insects for you.
We have a ton of them in our yard--the boys love them. You can almost watch them grow from day to day.
A big, ugly, scary looking spider is what you got there! I don't care if it won't hurt you- it just looks mean!! Yikes!
***scream****

But I almost agree with Granny, kuz I'm allergic to mosquitos...
