Please ID this spider

[watsgowinon]

This hairy thing has been hanging around at work. Not hiding during daylight hours. Web is huge, maybe 12-16 inches diameter. Spider body is about 3/8" wide and 3/4" long. Arms are about an inch long for the longest ones. And no, we are not going to kill it with fire. :laughing:laughing:laughing

Silver Garden Spider?

I want to say Wolf Spider. Do you happen to have a better picture of the face? And maybe a top-down to get a better view of any distinctive markings?

 

[MikeyRocks]

I had a similar spider at my house with different colors (black & yellow). They look very menacing but are supposedly relatively harmless and beneficial for your garden.

Wold spiders spin funnel webs. They're not orb web weavers.

That's the well-known Slightly Out Of Focus Spider. They eat lots of nasty bugs, and are fireproof, so don't bother. :laughing

 

[Loki1000R]

leave it alone and it will eat annoying bugs you don't like:thumbup that is the best kind of spider.

 

[bojangle]

Weaving a tangled web....

 

[Yakoo752]

It's hard to determine its size

Op - can you take a picture, holding it in your hand so we can determine its size better?

 

[angelsndevils]

Throw a grasshopper in its Web and enjoy the show. Fun with any orb-web spider

 

[maxandgrinch]

But what if a bribed hunting guide pulls off the ID Tag?

 

[Entoptic]

Awesome spider! Orb web weaver and if I had to guess garden spider. If you got any moths, go feed it!
