I found this spider in my shower this morning. I bravely won the fight with my can of Raid. The damn thing has pinchers, and giant antennae, one of which broke off in the battle we had. It came after me waving his antennae. As you can see it is about half the length of a legal size envelope. Shudder.

Peace.
