If anybody has a little arachnophobia, I suggest you don’t look at the picture on the right.

The picture was taken from my balcony last Friday. I don’t know if the weather was just right or there is actually a problem with spiders in the condo complex, but they were everywhere. Now spiders don’t bother me in the least bit, but these are some of the biggest spiders I’ve seen up close. (Besides big ass Tarantulas). If spiders freak you out even more, the person who lives directly below be doesn’t have a screen on their window AND they keep their window open all the time. So that night when all the spiders were out, one had made a web in the corner of the open window and it was just sitting there. The next day, the spider was gone and the window was still open!

But all during the week, I haven’t seen even one. I’m not sure if they went back in hiding or not, but the next time they come out I’ll try and get an even closer picture. The picture above was taken about 3 feet away and I had to zoom in a little.
