My Pet Spider

Check out the spider that lives on my porch. The thing is huge, probably one of the biggest spiders that I've seen just hanging around. It's a female Golden Orb Weaver spider. The male actually lives on the web too, but it's so small you can hardly see it. They say these things can get big enough to capture small birds, so I'm keeping it around until that happens! The trouble is that it's starting to get hard to take the trash out...
